Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of electronics. More particularly, forms of the present invention relate to systems, methods and circuits for generating a signal. A system, method and circuit for generating a signal are described. Forms of this system, method and circuit provide clock duty cycle improvement with no frequency reduction. Some such forms provide a clock signal approaching or achieving 50 percent with no significant frequency departure, reduction, etc. from a generated clock. One form of the present invention uses two similar clock signals that oscillate at the same frequency, but effectively inverted one from another. In one such form, the inverted signals are generated with a voltage controlled oscillator having differential stages.
