Abstract
A circuit includes a first inverter including a first PMOS transistor and a first NMOS transistor, and a second inverter including a second PMOS transistor and a second NMOS transistor. A first node is connected to gates of the first PMOS transistor and the first NMOS transistor and drains of the second PMOS transistor and the second NMOS transistor. A second node is connected to gates of the second PMOS transistor and the second NMOS transistor and drains of the first PMOS transistor and the first NMOS transistor. The circuit further includes a first capacitor having a first capacitance connected to the first node; and a second capacitor having a second capacitance connected to the second node. The second capacitance is greater than the first capacitance.
