Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently, variable delay circuits with less than 10ps resolution have become more and more important for measurement instruments such as automatic test equipment. A 7.0ps resolution digital variable delay macro cell on a GaAs 100KG gate array is successfully developed. For high resolution in the digital variable delay macro cell, two technologies are introduced; (1) 63-stage delay circuit with a discharge control path for high resolution and good linearity, (2) a meshed air bridge structure for reduction of propagation delay time. Span of the macro cell can be controlled from 460ps to 940ps.
