Abstract
A temperature compensated delay circuit for delaying a signal within an integrated circuit includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is configured to sense a temperature proximal to the integrated circuit and configured to provide a control signal representative of the sensed temperature proximal to the integrated circuit. A delay chain is configured to receive a signal and provide a plurality of output signals. Each output signal has a time delay distinct from other output signals. A multiplexer is configured to receive the plurality of output signals from the delay chain and to receive the control signal from the temperature sensor representative of the sensed temperature. The multiplexer is configured to provide a temperature compensated delayed output signal.
