Abstract: A clock generation circuit includes a two-phase non-overlapping clock generation circuit, an inverter, and a delay circuit. The two-phase non-overlapping clock generation circuit is configured to generate a first phase clock signal and a second phase clock signal based on a non-inverted clock signal and an inverted clock signal. The first phase clock signal and the second phase clock signal correspond to a same logical value during a first duration and a second duration within a clock cycle. The inverter is configured to generate the inverted clock signal based on an input clock signal. The delay circuit is configured to generate the non-inverted clock signal based on the input clock signal. The delay circuit has a predetermined delay sufficient to cause a difference between the first duration and the second duration to be less than a predetermined tolerance.

Abstract: A circuit includes a first power node configured to carry a first voltage having a first voltage level, a second power node configured to carry a second voltage having a second voltage level, an output node, and first and second cascode transistors coupled between the first power node and the output node and to each other at a node. A bias circuit uses the first and second cascode transistors to generate an output signal at the output node that transitions between the first voltage level and a third voltage level, and a delay circuit generates a transition in a first signal from one of the first or second voltage levels to the other of the first or second voltage levels, the transition having a time delay based on the output signal. A contending transistor couples the node to the second power node responsive to the first signal.
