Abstract
A circuit is presented having many transistors connected in parallel between a supply node and a pre-drive stage. The many transistors each have a gate connected to a delay select line to control current through the pre-drive stage. Also presented is a circuit having a first stack of transistors connected between a first supply node and a pre-drive stage. The circuit also has a second stack of transistors connected between a second supply node and the pre-drive stage, and many delay select lines. The stack of transistors each have a gate connected to one of the delay select lines.
