Abstract
A duty cycle correction circuit comprises a tuned circuit, a delay circuit and a phase-locked loop; wherein the tuned circuit receives an input clock, generates a periodic pulse according to the input clock, tunes the periodic pulse depending on a reference voltage, and outputs an output clock; a delay circuit receives the output clock, and generates a complementary signal; a phase lock loop receives the complementary signal, measures the periods of time of the high level state and the low level state of the complementary signal, generates the reference voltage and feeds back to the tuned circuit. By using the technique of the present invention, it is able to track the delay time between the input clock and the output clock, and the drift of the output clock is reduced.
