Abstract
A dual rail delay chain having cross-coupled inverters that interconnect the two rails. Delay chain embodiments include cross-coupled inverters that are part of a feed forward signal path between the two rails and are of a larger size than inverters associated with the two rails. The large size feed forward cross-coupled inverters contribute to an enhanced resolution of the delay chain.
