Abstract
A non-overlapping clock generator that has its dead time adjustable without a complete re-design and re-fabrication. Certain terminals of certain devices of the non-overlapping clock generator are connected only by metal layers. This allows the circuit of the non-overlapping clock generator to be changed, adjusting the dead time, by changing only the masks used to fabricate the metal layers. This allows non-overlapping clock generators on wafers that have been partially fabricated to have their dead times altered from the original design.
