Abstract
A phase shift circuit includes a first trailing-edge elongating circuit that elongates a trailing edge of each pulse of an input clock signal so as to fall gradually and outputs a first clock signal having a first elongated fall time. A signal inversion circuit inverts the first clock signal supplied from the first trailing-edge elongating circuit and outputs an inverted version of the first clock signal. A second trailing-edge elongating circuit elongates a trailing edge of each pulse of the inverted version of the first clock signal so as to fall gradually and outputs a second clock signal having a second elongated fall time. The second clock signal is an output signal of the phase shift circuit and lags behind the input clock signal by a predetermined time based on the first and second elongated fall times. The present invention further provides a repeater which uses the above-mentioned phase shift circuit.
