ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a duty correction circuit that corrects a distorted duty of a clock signal using a delay unit and a delay controller, thereby reducing the layout area and current consumption. The duty correction circuit includes a repeater that generates a clock signal having the same phase as that of an input clock signal with a distorted duty, and a clock signal having an inverted phase of the phase; a delay line delaying the phase of the clock signal having the inverted phase and generating a feedback clock signal; a phase comparator comparing the phase of the clock signal having the same phase with the phase of the feedback clock signal and generating a delay control signal according to the phase difference between the phases of the clock signal having the same phase and the feedback clock signal; a delay controller controlling the amount of delay of the delay line according to the delay control signal; and a phase mixer performing half-phase blending on the clock signal having the same phase and the feedback clock signal and outputting a clock signal having a corrected duty.
