Delay circuit

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A delay circuit includes a memory addresses of which is designated by a counter incremented in response to each clock signal from an initial value set by an initial value setting circuit to an end value. A digital signal is written into an address as designated and read and converted into an analog signal to be outputted at an output terminal through a buffer amplifier. A delay time is determined by the writing timing and the reading timing of the digital signal. If the delay time is to be varied in the course of a delaying operation a further, initial value is set in the counter. A control signal for returning the counter to the initial value is generated by a first signal generating …
