    Abstract

    In this paper, a wide range, area efficient, and high-precision pulse generator is presented. The proposed architecture exploits a CMOS thyristor delay element, and benefits from its decent advantages. The proposed circuit generates an input-independent, stable, and accurate pulse width signal. The pulse-width can be tuned continuously in the range of 1.5 ns to 45 ms. This novel structure is a part of a control circuit intended for recognizing the eventual faults and errors in industrial sensor interfaces. The presented circuits have been implemented in 0.35 µm standard CMOS process. It consumes 0.11 to 7.42 mW power from a 3.3 V supply. The total occupied area is about 0.018 mm2 and the maximum operation frequency of the proposed pulse generator is 331 MHz.
