Integrated circuit devices having duty cycle correction circuits that receive control signals over first and second separate paths and methods of operating the same

摘要

Digital duty cycle correction circuits are provided including a duty cycle detector circuit configured to generate first and second control values associated with a first internal clock signal and a second internal clock signal, respectively. A comparator circuit is also provided and is configured to compare the first control value to the second control value and provide a comparison result. A counter circuit is configured to perform an addition and/or a subtraction operation responsive to the comparison result to provide a digital code. A digital to analog converter is configured to generate third and fourth control values responsive to the digital code. Finally, a duty cycle corrector circuit is configured to receive first and second external clock signals and the first through fourth control values and generate the first and second internal clock signals having a corrected duty cycle. The first and second control values are received over a first path and the third and fourth control values are received over a second path, different from the first path. Related methods of operating duty cycle correction circuits are also provided.
