Abstract

A delay circuit is a circuit which produces rectangular pulses of specified duration.

A rectangular pulse consists of three parts: first, a sudden rise of voltage; second, remaining a constant voltage during a certain time interval; and third, a sudden drop of voltage to its original value.

If the sudden rise of voltage at t, is produced by a certain sudden action of a circuit previous to the pulse circuit, the sudden drop of voltage at t₂ can cause another circuit to produce a sudden action. Thus, the second action is produced by the first action at a time (t₂ - t₁) later. Or we say the action is delayed. Thus the pulse circuit can be termed as a delay circuit.
