Abstract
A duty cycle correction circuit for use in a semiconductor device, which synchronizes with an external clock and corrects a duty cycle, is provided. The duty cycle correction circuit includes a modulator of an inverter structure having at least one or more transistors. The modulator receives a control signal through a source terminal and a bulk of any one of the transistors and corrects a duty cycle in response to an external clock signal. The duty cycle correction circuit also includes a driver that converts an output signal of the modulator into a full swing level and outputs the converted output signal of the modulator, and a feedback loop that generates the control signal in response to an output signal of the driver.
