ABSTRACT:
A duty cycle corrector includes a first controllable delay, a second controllable delay, a phase detector, and a compensation circuit. The first controllable delay is configured to delay a first signal to provide a second signal. The second controllable delay is configured to delay the second signal to provide a third signal. The phase detector is configured to adjust the first controllable delay and the second controllable delay to phase lock the third signal to the first signal. The compensation circuit is configured to compensate for a mismatch between the first controllable delay and the second controllable delay to provide a fourth signal in response to the first signal and a fifth signal approximately 180 degrees out of phase with the fourth signal in response to the second signal.
