Digital signal delay circuit

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A digital signal delay circuit which delays a pluraliry of digital input signals by a use of a single delay device group and a pluraliry of delay sections is disclosed. The delay device group generates a pluraliry of different phase clock signals. Each of the delay sections includes selection means for selecting one of the clock signals from the delay device group and latch means for latching the digital input signal in response to the output signal from the selection means. The output signal from the latch means is the delayed input signal, and a delay time is controlled by the selection means. The delay device group is used in common for the plurality of delay sections so that, the …
