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 4):
The circuit of  claim 3 , wherein the measurement circuit further comprises:\n a frequency division circuit configured to generate a first signal based on rising edges of the input signal and a second signal based on falling edges of the input signal; wherein the ramp generation circuit comprises:\n a push-pull circuit configured to generate one of the first pair of complementary ramp signals; \n a delay chain configured to generate a plurality of delay signals based on the first signal; and \n a drive strength controller configured to continuously increase a drive strength of the push-pull circuit based on a subset of delay signals of the plurality of delay signals that transition in a time window set by the first signal and the second signal.
