Abstract
An electronic circuit and method for processing a signal, including a variable-delay transmission gate for receiving a binary input signal and propagating a delayed binary output signal corresponding to the input signal. The propagation delay in the transmission gate is controlled by two complimentary, non-binary, control signals from a current mirror that is driven by a PVT-compensated voltage follower.
