Abstract:
A duty cycle corrector (DCC) includes a duty corrector circuit configured to adjust a duty of an input signal to output a duty-adjusted signal; a duty detector circuit configured to generate a correction code associated with the adjustment of the duty, based on a charge pump operation and a counting operation; and a timing controller configured to generate a first control signal associated with the charge pump operation and a second control signal associated with the counting operation in synchronization with a first clock.
