Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for duty cycle correction of clock signals. An input clock signal passes through a pair of output transistors, which provides an output clock signal based on the input clock signal. A duty cycle sensor generates a first correction signal based on the output clock signal. The first correction signal is at least partially opposite of the output clock signal. A duty cycle corrector generates a second correction signal based on the first correction signal. The duty cycle corrector includes two or more transistors for generating the second correction signal. The second correction signal is applied to the output clock signal. There are other embodiments as well.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to electrical circuits and techniques thereof. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a variable gain amplifier architecture that includes a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) section and a variable gain amplifier (VGA) section. The CTLE section provides both a pair of equalized data signals and a common mode voltage. A DAC generates a control signal based on a control code. The VGA section amplifies the pair of equalized data signals by an amplification factor using a transistor whose resistance value is based on both the common mode voltage and the control signal. There are other embodiments as well.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to electrical circuits and techniques thereof. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide a differential amplifier that has a differential amplifier section, a current source, and a feedback section. The differential amplifier section comprises NMOS transistors that receives two voltage inputs and generate a differential output. The current source provides a long tail for the differential amplifier section. The feedback section generates a feedback voltage based on a reference bias voltage. The feedback voltage is used by an amplifier to control the current source and to keep the biasing and gain of the differential amplifier substantially constant. There are other embodiments as well.
