Abstract:
A phase correction circuit includes: a test clock generation unit including a plurality of signal paths and configurable to generate a plurality of test clock signals in response to a plurality of selection signals and a plurality of phase control signals; a detection unit configured to generate a plurality of detection voltages using the plurality of test clock signals; and a control unit configured to generate the plurality of selection signals, detect phase skews of the plurality of signal paths according to the plurality of detection voltages, and generate the plurality of phase control signals for correcting the phase skews.
