Abstract
A clock buffer circuit having a reduced propagation delay therethrough. The clock buffer circuit has a clock input for receiving an initial clock pulse thereto, and a clock output for transmitting a buffered clock pulse therethrough. A first driver chain arrangement of transistors is coupled with the clock input and the clock output for switching the buffered clock pulse from a low voltage level to a high voltage level. A second driver chain arrangement of transistors is coupled with the clock input and the clock output for switching the buffered clock pulse from the high voltage level to the low voltage level. A holder circuit and a first and trigger circuit for the second driver chain are also included.
