Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to improved systems and methods for control of one or more timing signals in a memory device. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to configurable duty cycle correction at one or more DQ pins (e.g., data input/output (I/O) pins) of the memory device. For example, the memory device may include a configurable phase splitter and/or selective capacitive loading circuitry implemented to adjust the duty cycle of a timing signal at one or more DQ pins during and/or after manufacture of the memory device. Accordingly, the memory device may include increased flexibility and granularity of control over the one or more timing signals.
