Abstract
A delay circuit includes a first and a second switching transistor, each of which has a control electrode and a first and a second main electrode, a first and a second input of the delay circuit being coupled to the control electrode of the first switching transistor and the second switching transistor, respectively. A first and a second output of the delay circuit are coupled to the second electrode of the first and the second switching transistors, respectively. The first electrodes of the first and the second switching transistors are coupled to one another and, via a current source, to a first power supply terminal. The outputs are coupled to a second power supply terminal via respective load circuits. Respective clamp circuits are coupled to the outputs in order to limit maximum attainable differences between a voltage on the second power supply terminal on the one side and a voltage on the respective outputs on the other side.
