Abstract
A circuit has a plurality of functional circuits (-), each with multiphase control inputs. A control circuit drives the inputs for each phase in parallel. The control circuit (-) comprises a chain of one-shot circuits (-), each comprising a bi-stable circuit (). The bi-stable circuit () of a first one-shot circuit in the chain has a set input coupled to the basic control signal input (), the bi-stable circuits () of a remaining or each remaining one-shot circuit (-) in the chain have a set input output of its predecessor in the chain. Each bi-stable circuit () has an output coupled to a respective one of the multiphase control outputs (-) and a reset input coupled to the respective one of the multiphase control outputs (-). Loading of the multiphase control outputs (-) by the functional circuits results in a delay of the reset. Thus the pulse durations of the one shot circuits are adapted to the number of functional circuits to ensure sufficient signal development.
