Abstract
Abstract A clock generator for producing nonoverlapping clocks from an input clock includes an MOS depletion-mode device receiving the input clock at an input. The output of the depletion-mode device, which constitutes one of the clocks, is also applied to one input of a NOR gate, the other input of which is the input clock. The output of the NOR gate is the second clock.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A clock generator for providing first and second nonoverlapping clocks comprising a clock input for receiving an input clock, a depletion-mode MOS device having an input terminal connected to said clock input and an output terminal connected to its gate, and a NOR gate having an output, a first input connected to the output terminal of said MOS device and a second input connected to said clock input, whereby the outputs of said MOS device and of said NOR gate are respectively said nonoverlapping first and second clocks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
