Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Apparatuses and methods for duty cycle adjustment are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a node, a phase mixer, and a duty cycle adjuster circuit. The phase mixer may have a first step duty cycle response and may be configured to provide a first output signal to the node in accordance with the first step duty cycle response. The duty cycle adjuster circuit may have a second step duty cycle response complementary to the first step duty cycle response and may be configured to provide a second signal to the node in accordance with the second step duty cycle response.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a phase mixer having a first step duty cycle response and configured to provide a first output signal having a first duty cycle variation in accordance with the first step duty cycle response; and a duty cycle adjuster circuit having a second step duty cycle response and configured to provide a second output signal in accordance with the second step duty cycle response, wherein an output clock signal based on the combination of th…
