    摘要: A digitally controlled delay line (DCDL) includes an input terminal, an output terminal, and a plurality of stages configured to propagate a signal along a first signal path from the input terminal to a selectable return stage of the plurality of stages, and along a second signal path from the return stage of the plurality of stages to the output terminal. Each stage of the plurality of stages includes first and second inverters configured to selectively propagate the signal along the first signal path, third and fourth inverters configured to selectively propagate the signal along the second signal path, and a fifth inverter configured to selectively propagate the signal from the first signal path to the second signal path.

    摘要: In some embodiments, an integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor substrate. An active area is disposed in the semiconductor substrate. A first guard ring is disposed in the semiconductor substrate and entirely surrounds the active area. The first guard ring has a first conductivity type. A via penetrates through the semiconductor substrate and is spaced apart from the active area such that the via is disposed outside of the first guard ring. A second guard ring is disposed in the semiconductor substrate and entirely surrounds the via and the first guard ring. The second guard ring has the first conductivity type and is disjoint from the first guard ring.
