A stacked inverter delay chain. The stacked inverter delay chain includes a plurality of stacked inverter delay elements. A switch circuit is included and is coupled to the stacked inverter delay elements and configured to select at least one of the plurality of stacked inverter delay elements to create a delay signal path. The delay signal path has an amount of delay in accordance with a number of stacked inverter delay elements comprising the delay signal path. An input is coupled to a first stacked inverter delay element of the delay signal path to receive an input signal and an output is coupled to the switch circuit and is coupled to the delay signal path to receive a delayed version of the input signal after propagating through the delay signal path.
