Abstract
A dynamic voltage reference circuit for generating one or more control signals for use in controlling a delay circuit or other circuit that requires compensation for process variations. The control signals are generated without drawing DC current at times other than when the active edge is propagating through the delay circuit. As a result, a reference generator with reduced power consumption is realized.
