Pulse-on-edge circuit
View Patent ↗A pulse on edge circuit includes a first pull up transistor having its gate terminal coupled to a delayed control signal and a second pull up transistor having its gate terminal coupled to an inverted delayed control signal. A first and second pull down transistors are coupled in series between the first pull up transistor and a low voltage bias, wherein the gates of the first and second pull down transistors are coupled to the delayed control signal and inverted control signal, respectively. A third and fourth pull down transistors are coupled in series between the second pull up transistor and the low voltage bias. The gates of the third and fourth pull down transistors are coupled to a control signal and the inverted delayed control signal, respectively.
1. A method for bypassing a filter, the method comprising:
generating an inverted control signal, a delayed control signal and an inverted delayed control signal from a control signal;
generating a pulse signal from the control signal, the inverted control signal, the delayed control signal and the inverted delayed control signal; and
controlling a switch across the filter by the generated pulse signal to bypass the filter.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the delayed control signal is generated by inputting the control signal to a series of coupled inverters.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the control signal is a power down signal.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the switch is a PMOS transistor.
