Abstract
Aspects of the invention include receiving, by a controller, an indication of a chip initialization for a duty cycle correction (DCC) circuit, wherein the duty cycle correction circuit includes a main path including a main multiplexer (MUX) having a first input and a main driver circuit, a replica path including a replica MUX having a second input and a replica driver circuit, a selection MUX connected to the main path and the replica path, operating the selection MUX, during a period for the chip initialization, to select the main path as an input to the selection MUX, inputting a pre-defined data pattern to the main path, comparing an output of the selection MUX with the pre-defined data pattern to determine duty cycle issue, and generating an adjustment vector based on the determined duty cycle issue.
