  • Publication number: 20140042924
    Abstract: A circuit with adjustable phase delay and a feedback voltage includes a delay setting unit and a phase delay signal generator. The delay setting unit generates a delay time according to an external resistor. The phase delay signal generator includes a plurality of phase delay units. Each phase delay unit includes an edge trigger subunit and a signal generation subunit. The edge trigger subunit receives an input signal, and generates a positive edge trigger signal and a negative edge trigger signal according to a positive edge and a negative edge of the input signal, respectively. The signal generation subunit generates and outputs a phase delay signal according to the positive edge trigger signal, the negative edge trigger signal, and the delay time. The phase delay signal lags the input signal for the delay time.
