Abstract
A delay apparatus includes a plurality of stage circuits, a first current source, a second current source and a switch. The stage circuits connected in series to each other. The first current source is coupled to the first power terminal of the first stage circuit. In some embodiments, the second current source is coupled to the first power terminal of the second stage circuit, and the first and second terminals of the switch are respectively coupled to the first power terminal of the first stage circuit and the first power terminal of the second stage circuit. In other embodiments, the first and second terminals of the switch are respectively coupled to the first power terminal of the second stage circuit and the second current source, and the first power terminal of the first stage circuit is coupled to the first power terminal of the second stage circuit through a wire.
