Abstract: Providing duty cycle correction can include determining whether a clock signal has a duty cycle greater than 50% based on averaging the clock signal and comparing that averaged clock signal to ½ VDD. When the duty cycle is greater than 50%, the clock signal can be selected. When the duty cycle is less than 50%, the inverted clock signal can be selected. Thus, a duty cycle corrected clock signal can be generated based on the clock signal or the inverted clock signal. Notably, a duty cycle control signal can be adjusted based on comparisons of an averaged, duty cycle corrected clock signal and predetermined low/high voltage ranges. Components performing comparing functions can be strobed based on a count performed on the clock signal.
