Abstract:
A duty cycle correction system corrects for duty cycle distortion by measuring average time interval durations of consecutive intervals of an input signal. The system generates complementary ramp signals that have cross-points indicating midpoints of the intervals, and detects those cross-points. An output circuit of the duty cycle correction system generates an output signal that performs rising and falling transitions in response to the detected cross-points.

Claim (Index 21):
A circuit comprising:\n means for generating pairs of complementary ramp signals that ramp up and ramp down over ramp periods corresponding to time durations of time intervals of an input signal, the pairs of complementary ramp signals comprising:\n a first pair of complementary ramp signals that ramp up and ramp down for durations corresponding to durations of a first set of the time intervals during which the input signal is at an associated high level; and \n a second pair of complementary ramp signals that ramp up and ramp down for durations corresponding to durations of a second set of the time intervals during which the input signal is at an associated low level; \n means for detecting cross-points of the pairs of complementary ramp signals; and means for generating an output signal that performs rising and falling transitions in response to the detected cross-points.
