Abstract
A circuit for duty cycle detection and correction, for a serial data transmitter. The circuit includes a pattern generator having a pattern data output configured to be selectively connected to the data input of the serial data transmitter, and a duty cycle detection circuit, connected to the output of the serial data transmitter. The pattern generator is configured to produce a pattern including a sequence including an odd number of consecutive zeros and a same number of consecutive ones. The duty cycle detection circuit is configured to measure a difference between a first interval and a second interval, in a signal at the output of the serial data transmitter, the first interval corresponding to the odd number of consecutive zeros within the sequence and the second interval corresponding to the odd number of consecutive ones within the sequence.
