Abstract
An example calibration circuit for a receiver includes a first circuit coupled to decision circuits in the receiver. The decision circuits are configured to compare a signal to reference voltages at times based on clocks. The clocks have different phases. The first circuit is configured to receive an output of the decision circuits, generate, in response to the output, the reference voltages, the reference voltages being shifted from centers of data eyes at the decision circuits, and generate a control signal based on comparisons of the reference voltages. The calibration circuit includes a second circuit, coupled to the first circuit and the decision circuits, configured to output the clocks to the decision circuits and apply at least one correction in duty cycle to at least one of the clocks in response to the control signal received from the first circuit.
