Abstract
A delay circuit comprises a signal generator and a delay component. The signal generator comprises a terminal for receiving a trigger signal and an output for outputting a signal when receiving a trigger signal with a pre-determined characteristic. The delay mean comprises an input for receiving the signal outputted by the signal generator and an output for generating a signal delayed with a delay referred to the time the delay mean received the signal outputted by the signal generator.
Claims20
A delay circuit, comprising:
- a signal generator having a control terminal for receiving a trigger signal and having an output terminal for outputting a signal when receiving a trigger signal with a pre-determined characteristic;
- and
- a delay component having an input terminal for receiving the signal outputted by the signal generator and having an output terminal for generating an output signal delayed with a time delay corresponding to the time the delay component received the signal outputted by the signal generator.
A method for generating an output signal with a time delay, the method comprising:
- receiving a trigger signal;
- generating a signal if the received trigger signal exhibits a pre-determined signal characteristic;
- and
- generating an output signal delayed with a time delay corresponding to the time the signal was generated.
