Abstract
A complementary signal path may include an amplifier circuit configured to receive a pair of complementary input signals and a data alignment circuit configured to output a pair of complementary output signals in response to the pair of complementary input signals. A control circuit may detect duty cycle distortion in the pair of complementary output signals and perform a duty cycle correction process to remove the distortion. To do so, the control circuit may search for target current amounts in response to the duty cycle distortion and inject a control current into the amplifier circuit at the target current amounts.
