Integrated circuits that support dual-edge clocking are provided. Integrated circuits may include phase-locked loops that generate square-wave clock signals. The clock signals may be provided from off-chip equipment through input-output pins. The clock signals may be routed through a clock distribution network to provide local clock signals to pulse generators that generate clock pulses on rising and falling clock edges. The pulse generators may generate clock pulses that are triggered by the rising and falling clock edges with a common pulse width for optimum performance. Duty cycle distortion introduced by the clock network may be minimized for optimum performance. Adaptive duty cycle distortion circuitry may be used to control the pull-up/pull-down drive strengths of the clock buffer so that the high clock phase of the local clock signals is approximately a half clock cycle.
