ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, a method, and a computer program are provided to measure the duty cycle of a clocking signal in a processor. Traditionally, variations in the duty cycles of clocks within microprocessors have been of considerable concern. By employing frequency dividers and AND gates, the duty cycles of clocks can be precisely measured and adjusted accordingly to account for variation that might occur. The measurements and adjustments, therefore, can improve the operation of a microprocessor or any other clocked semiconductor.
