Abstract

PURPOSE:To always apply prescribed delay time without being affected by the capacity of a loading circuit to be applied to an output, surrounding temperature or power supply voltage, etc., by switching the delay time according to time difference between the output signal of an output buffer circuit and the output signal of a reference delay time setting circuit. CONSTITUTION:A circuit 1 is provided to set the reference delay time to an input signal IN and a circuit 2 is provided to switch the plural kinds of the delay time. Then, one kind of the delay time is selected from the plural kinds of the delay time corresponding to the time difference between this circuit 1 to set the reference delay time and an output OUT of a semiconductor integrated circuit. Accordingly, even when an environmental condition such as the capacity of the loading circuit to be applied to the output, surrounding temperature or power supply voltage, etc., is changed, the constant delay time can be always applied. Thus, it is not necessary to fit the other circuit to the external part of the semiconductor integrated circuit for adjusting the delay time and simultaneously, even in the case that width between the minimum standard and maximum standard of the output delay time is made wide, these kinds of the delay time can be set.

The conventional semiconductor integrated circuit described above has an output buffer circuit 3.
Inverter I31. Since the delay time is set by I32, the delay time changes significantly depending on the capacity of the load circuit added to the output and environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and power supply voltage. In particular, it is difficult to design an output buffer circuit that satisfies the minimum and maximum delay time specifications at the same time.Moreover, since the width of the minimum and maximum specifications becomes wide, a separate circuit is required outside the semiconductor integrated circuit to adjust this width. The disadvantage is that a circuit must be provided.
