Abstract
A control circuit produces a control voltage for a tunable delay line in response to the magnitude of digital input data. The magnitude of the control voltage output corresponding to any digital input magnitude is independently adjustable to compensate for any nonlinear response of the delay to control voltage input such that the time delay produced by the delay line is substantially a linear function of the digital input to the control voltage source.
