Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for applying duty cycle correction to a level shifter via a feedback common mode resistor are disclosed. A circuit includes a capacitor, an inverter, and at least one feedback resistor. An input signal is received and coupled through the capacitor to the inverter. To correct for duty cycle distortion on the input signal, a duty cycle correction signal is applied to the at least one feedback resistor in the feedback path. The duty cycle correction signal can be applied as a voltage or as a current. In one implementation, the location of the injection point for applying the duty cycle correction signal within the at least one feedback resistor is programmable.
