Embodiments of the invention relate generally to the field of duty cycle correction, and more particularly to method and apparatus for correcting duty cycle of a CMOS level signal when converted from a Current-Mode-Logic (CML) to a CMOS level signal via a CML to CMOS converter. The converter comprises a first differential pair unit to receive a CML level signal; a second differential pair unit to receive the CML level signal; and an embedded differential biasing unit, coupled with the first and the second differential pair units, to adjust drive strength of the first and second differential pair units based on a duty cycle of the CML level signal. The method for correcting duty cycle of the CMOS level signal output comprises receiving by the first differential pair unit a CML level signal; receiving by the second differential pair unit the CML level signal; and adjusting drive strength of the first and the second differential pair units based on a duty cycle of the CMOS level signal.
