A digital circuit according to the present invention includes a pulse
delay circuit where a driving current of an inverter is variable, for
causing timing of a clock signal to be variable; and the pulse delay
circuit has a stabilizing circuit for an amount of a pulse delay by a
delay synchronizing loop, and a generating circuit for a pulse delay
amount setting voltage with nonlinear characteristics. The present
invention makes it possible to realize a timing delay circuit with high
resolution, which is not influenced by an operating environment and
requires only a small area for the circuit.
