Abstract: A clock correction circuit in which a correction accuracy of a duty cycle is increased is provided. The clock correction circuit comprises a delay-locked loop circuit configured to receive a first clock signal and generate a second clock signal obtained by delaying the first clock signal; a first duty cycle correction circuit configured to receive the second clock signal and generate a first correction clock signal obtained by correcting a duty cycle of the second clock signal; and a duty cycle detection circuit which includes a second duty cycle correction circuit and an error code generation circuit, wherein the error code generation circuit receives the first correction clock signal, and generates a first error code as to whether to correct the duty cycle of the second clock signal on the basis of the first correction clock signal, the second duty cycle correction circuit generates a second correction clock signal obtained by correcting the duty cycle of the first correction clock signal in response to the first error code, the error code generation circuit generates a second error code as to whether to correct the duty cycle of the second clock signal on the basis of the second correction clock signal, and the first duty cycle correction circuit receives the second error code, and generates a third correction clock signal obtained by correcting the duty cycle of the second clock signal in response to the second error code.
