Abstract:
A correction system is configured to correct for duty cycle distortion and/or cross-point distortion in a pair of sample signals. A slope adjustment circuit is configured to generate a plurality of pairs of intermediate signals according to a plurality of drive strengths. A measurement circuit is configured to measure for duty cycle distortion and/or cross-point distortion, and the slope adjustment circuit is configured to set the plurality of drive strengths based on the measurement. The setting of the drive strengths may reduce certain rising and falling slopes of certain transitions of the plurality of intermediate signals, which in turn may reduce duty cycle distortion and/or cross-point distortion in the sample signals.

Claim (Index 28):
The method of  claim 22 , wherein a circuit stage of the plurality of pairs of circuit stages comprises:\n setting, with a plurality of drive strength transistors of a circuit stage of the plurality of pairs of circuit stages, a pull-up drive strength of a pull-up portion of the circuit stage or a push-down drive strength of a push-down portion of the circuit stage; and receiving, with a plurality of parallel-connected input transistors of the circuit stage, an input signal of the complementary input signals or an intermediate signal of the plurality of pairs of complementary intermediate signals, wherein a length of a first physical connection that connects together terminals of the plurality of drive strength transistors is shorter than a length of a second physical connection that connects together terminals of the plurality of drive strength transistors.
