Abstract
Described is an apparatus which comprises: a current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to receive a digital bus to control current steering; a switch capacitor network to integrate currents from the DAC, the switch capacitor network having switches which are controllable by a plurality of digital clock signals; an output stage to compare the integrated currents against at least two threshold voltages and to generate an output signal; and a duty cycle corrector (DCC) operable to adjust the at least two threshold voltages to modify duty cycle of the output signal.
