Abstract: Controllable delay elements are essential for shifting the edges of signals in many digital and mixed-mode signal processing integrated circuits. Digitally programmable delay elements (DPDEs) are more flexible, less susceptible to noise and exhibit more robustness than their analog counterparts. In this paper, a partially programmable and a fully programmable delay elements are proposed. Together with a switched current mirror, a gate decoupling technique is applied to the former while a Schmitt type inverter is used in the later structure to achieve more significantly reduced static and short-circuit current. The delay elements are implemented in a 0.18um technology and simulation results with a 1V power supply show a more than 40% power saving while operating at a speed of 450MHz in both structures.
