Duty-cycle corrector circuits and related apparatuses and methods

Abstract:

Apparatuses and methods for correcting a duty-cycle of a clock signal are disclosed. An apparatus includes an integrator circuit, an amplifier circuit, and an electrically controllable switch. The integrator circuit is configured to provide an integrator signal indicating substantially an integral of a corrected clock signal. The amplifier circuit is configured to be disabled responsive to a detection that an input clock signal is disabled. The amplifier circuit includes a first amplifier input terminal and a second amplifier input terminal. The electrically controllable switch is configured to selectively electrically connect the first amplifier input terminal to the second amplifier input terminal responsive to the detection that the input clock signal is disabled. A method of correcting a duty-cycle of an input clock signal includes adjusting a corrected duty-cycle of the corrected clock signal responsive to a first error signal and a second error signal from the amplifier circuit.
