i need to generate 64ns of delay from the input signal ...is there any way to achive the same without using R/C ...
 

Re: delay logic

Do you mean on-chip delay or off-chip delay?
If on-chip you can use long channel transistors, but PVT (Process-Voltage-Temperature) deviation can vary this delay 2 times.
In my case I wanted more than 50ns delay. Actually PVT deviation was from 50ns to 100ns.
 

Re: delay logic

i need on-chip delay generator by using cmos logic ..like inverters ....im in a position to generate 8ns of delay by using inverters but i need to generate 64ns ....if i use this meathod it will be long chain of inverters and as u mentioned it will not be accurate across corners...this is 65nm technology....

can u tell me how did u impliment it ...a snapshot of the ckt would be of great help.

Added after 1 minutes:

And one more thing is input frequency is variable henceforth we cant use DFF :(

I cannot post snapshot because my computer with design data has no connection to internet.
The implementation is also a chain of inverters with long channel transistors. And it will be always not accurate. My target was a minimal delay more than 50ns. Actually it deviates from 50ns to 100ns.
If you use a standard cell library you can look for a delay cell and use that instead of inverters. But the delay will also deviate like for inverters.
 

delay logic

Hi
use inverters with large capasitive load.
you can use moscap as load.
This is my idea but I don't know that it is general or not.

Re: delay logic

You can try by method. The following is the schematic.It is a rising side delay circuit.The delay time can be setted by the resistance and capacitance.
By the way the delay time may also vary with the process.

delay logic

Current based delay cell, where current is generated from some supply and temperature independent current reference, to minimize delay variation, happens in simple inverter cells
