Abstract
An edge detector includes an output node selectively coupled to a first voltage node through a first transistor, the first voltage node having a first voltage level, and a second transistor configured to continuously couple the output node to a second voltage node having a second voltage level. A capacitor includes a first terminal coupled to a gate of the first transistor and a second terminal configured to receive an input signal.
