Abstract
A wave shaping circuit for shaping the transition edges of switching electrical signals. The wave shaping circuit controls voltage output as a function of time and is applicable in digital and analog systems. The shaping circuit includes one or more stages having the capability to conduct current simultaneous during signal transitions. Each simultaneous conduction current stage is coupled to a current mirror circuit powered by a power supply rail. The current mirror circuit is coupled to a capacitive element that is charged or discharged by current provided through the simultaneous conduction current stage or stages. Through selectable design of the simultaneous conduction stages, the current mirror circuit, and the capacitive element, the designer can tailor the shape of the transition curve as the input signal is propagated through the shaping circuit to the output.
