Abstract
A voltage level converter circuit is presented that is capable of independently adjusting the falling edge and rising edge delays of the output signal. The circuit includes two separate transconductance amplifiers each biased independently. Each one of the transconductance amplifiers separately drives an output transistor. The circuit is particularly suited for converting ECL signals to CMOS logic levels.
