Abstract

See full text

A delay time adjusting circuit is described, in which a reference signal circuit generates at least one reference signal to an A/D conversion circuit, an input signal circuit generates an input signal to the A/D conversion circuit, the A/D conversion circuit compares the input signal with the at least one reference signal to output a digital signal to a digital logic chip, and the digital logic chip determines a delay time based on the digital signal. In this way, the delay time can be determined digitally, and an adjusting accuracy of the delay time can be increased; and also, the delay time can be adjusted through changing the level of the input signal, thus reducing circuit losses and costs.
