Abstract
In a duty cycle error detection device, a first digital code generator is configured to generate high and low codes corresponding to a lengths of high level low level periods, respectively, of a clock signal, generate a sign signal representing the longer period between the high level period and the low level period, and output one of the high and low digital codes corresponding to the shorter period as a first digital code. A clock delay circuit is configured to generate a delay clock signal by delaying the clock signal for a time corresponding to the first digital code, and a second digital code generator is configured to generate a duty error digital code corresponding to a length from a start of the longer period of the delay clock signal to an end of the longer period of the clock signal based on the sign signal.
