Methods and apparatus to correct duty cycle

摘要

An apparatus for correcting duty cycle error is provided which includes circuitry capable of determining existence of a duty cycle error from input data received over data transmissions lines where the circuitry generates duty cycle correction data based on the duty cycle error. The apparatus also includes a digital analog converter (DAC) being coupled to the circuitry where the DAC is capable of receiving a magnitude portion of the duty cycle correction data from the circuitry. The apparatus further includes an adjustable bias driver being coupled to the circuitry, the DAC and the data transmission lines. The adjustable bias driver receives the magnitude portion of the duty cycle correction data from the DAC and receives a polarity portion of the duty cycle correction data from the circuitry where the adjustable bias driver adjusts the polarity of signals applied to the data transmission lines for correcting the duty cycle error.
