Abstract
A delay cell includes a feed-forward inverter and a feedback inverter. The feedback inverter is coupled to the feed-forward inverter. The feed-forward inverter has an input and an output. Similarly, the feedback inverter has an input and an output. A drive strength of the feed-forward inverter is larger than a drive strength of the feedback inverter such that a transition at the input of the feed-forward inverter propagates to the output of the feed-forward inverter.
