Abstract

An example apparatus according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes first and second voltage terminals, and first, second, and third circuit nodes. A potential of the first circuit node is changed based on an input signal. A flip-flop circuit includes first and second inverters cross-coupled to each other. The first inverter is coupled between the first voltage terminal and the second circuit node. A first transistor is coupled between the second and third circuit nodes, and the first transistor has a control electrode coupled to the first circuit node. A first current control circuit is coupled between the third circuit node and the second voltage terminal, and an amount of current flowing through the first current control circuit being controlled based on a first code signal.
