Abstract
A complementary signal generator, for outputting complementary positive-phase and antiphase signals that vary between a first logical value and a second logical value, which includes a signal forming unit for outputting a positive-phase intermediate signal being in phase with an input signal varying between the first logical value and the second logical value, and an antiphase intermediate signal antiphase to the input signal. The generator also includes a first connecting means for simultaneously transferring the second logical value of the positive-phase intermediate signal and the first logical value of the antiphase intermediate signal to a positive-phase signal output part and an antiphase signal output part in synchronism with a state change of the input signal from the first logical value to the second logical value.
Claims6
A complementary signal generator for outputting complementary positive-phase and antiphase signals that vary between a first logical value and a second logical value, comprising:
- a signal forming unit for outputting a positive-phase intermediate signal being in phase with an input signal varying between the first logical value and the second logical value to a positive-phase intermediate node, and an antiphase intermediate signal antiphase to the input signal to an antiphase intermediate node;
- a positive-phase signal output part;
- an antiphase signal output part;
- a first connecting means connected among the positive-phase intermediate node, the antiphase intermediate note, the positive-phase signal output part, and the antiphase signal output part and having a first control terminal for receiving a first control signal produced in synchronism with a state change of the input signal from the first logical value to the second logical value, and for simultaneously transferring the second logical value of the positive-phase intermediate signal and the first logical value of the antiphase intermediate signal to the positive-phase signal output part and the antiphase signal output part respectively;
- and
- a driving means for individually setting respective states of the positive-phase signal output part and the antiphase signal output part to the first logical value and the second logical value.
