Circuit arrangement which compensates for pulse-duration changes in a binary signal

Abstract

A circuit arrangement compensates for changes of pulse-duration in a binary signal. These changes of pulse-duration are the consequence of parasitic reactances in the signal path of the binary signal. A compensating circuit, which owing to its simplicity is particularly suitable for integrated circuits, is characterized in that a signal is inverted by an input inverter (I1) after it has passed through the signal path, then passes through a copy (NA) of the signal path, and is inverted once again by an output inverter (I1). If the signal path and its copy are integrated on a single chip, an adjustment of the copy (NA) need not be performed. Particularly advantageous--because of its cost-effectiveness--is the implementation of the above circuit in switching networks which are realized as integrated circuits. For each output of the switching network only a single copy (NA) will then be necessary.
