A pulse delay circuit induces lager jitter to faster input reference pulse trains than before. A buffer receives a reference pulse train and provides non-inverted and inverted pulses. Low pass filters (LPF) and comparators receive the non-inverted and inverted pulses from the buffer and provide pulses having delayed leading and trailing edges. Dividers divide the delayed pulses by 2 to produce the respective pulse trains having a half frequency. An XOR gate produces an exclusive OR of the delayed and divided pulse trains to provide a pulse train having delayed leading and/or trailing edges relative to the reference pulse train. If the delays by the LPFs and comparators are changed, the output pulses from the XOR gate have jitter.
