One end of the second resistoris connected with a direct-current power supply, and the other end of the second resistor is connected with one end of the first resistor and the first input end of the comparator and then grounded through the capacitor. A second input end of the comparator is connected with the other end of the first resistor and an input signal of the constant-ratio timing circuit. An output end of the comparator serves as an output end of the constant-ratio timing circuit. The direct-current power supply and the input signal have the same direct-current component. According to the invention, only the pulsesignal is attenuated, and the direct current component remains unchanged, so that the stability of the circuit is improved compared with the attenuation of the direct current component and the pulsesignal in the traditional constant-ratio timing circuit. In addition, the attenuation and the time delay are achieved only through one RC network. Compared with a traditional constant-ratio timing circuit in which quantity signals are divided into two paths to be attenuated and delayed respectively, the structure is simpler.
