and 14. Claims 8, 10, 11 and 13 have been objected to.
The disclosed invention pertains to an electrical delay
circuit capable of being formed entirely in a single
integrated circuit. The invention is generally used for
providing a supply line delay of a predetermined time period
after application of a supply voltage to an input. The
invention may also be used, for example, for delaying a
standard clock signal. In conventional delay circuits, a
resistor on the order of several hundred megohms and a
capacitor of several microfarads are needed to generate a
delay as small as several hundred milliseconds. It is,
however, impossible to commonly integrate such a large
resistance and capacitance in a single monolithic integrated
circuit. The inventive design accomplishes the same result by
utilizing components of smaller size in a manner that these
components can be easily incorporated in a monolithic
integrated circuit. The invention is further illustrated by
the following claim.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
