    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an I/O bank impedance calibration circuit having (a) a replica master resistor coupled to an external precision resistor, and (b) a control circuit configured to calibrate an output impedance of the master resistor to generate a calibrated code to control a replica slave resistor in each bank. In an illustrative example, a signal applied to the replica master resistor may be compared against a programmable reference signal. The control circuit may generate the calibrated code, in response to the comparison result, to calibrate the output impedance of the replica master resistor. By implementing the replica master resistor and the replica slave resistor, impedances of a large number of IOs or banks may be calibrated by the impedance calibration circuit using a single one reference pin.

    Abstract: Examples describe a duty cycle correction circuit for correcting duty cycle distortion from memory. One example is an integrated circuit for correcting an input clock signal. The integrated circuit includes a first leg circuit and a second leg circuit. The first leg circuit and the second leg circuit both comprise a charging circuit and a discharging circuit. Each charging circuit comprises a first plurality of transistors and each discharging circuit comprises a second plurality of transistors. The charging circuit is coupled to the discharging circuit in series. A number of transistors of the first plurality of transistors in the first leg circuit is different from a number of transistors of the first plurality of transistors in the second leg circuit.
