Abstract:
A duty cycle correction (DCC) circuit includes first and second pluralities of logic gates, a low pass filter, an error amplifier, and a differential amplifier. The DCC circuit receives first and second clock signals from the VCO. The first and second pluralities of logic gates receive first and second superimposed clock signals and generate first and second output clock signals, respectively. The error amplifier rectifies a common error of the first and second output clock signals, and generates a common mode error voltage signal. The differential amplifier generates first and second error signals based on the common mode error voltage signal. The first and second error signals converge the duty cycles of the first and second output clock signals to a 50% duty cycle.
