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 9):
A system comprising:\n an output circuit configured to generate a pair of output signals based on a plurality of intermediate signals; a measurement circuit configured to measure a cross-point distortion of a plurality of complementary output signals during a predetermined number of iterations; a search circuit configured to:\n search through an array of digital-to-analog converter (DAC) codes in response to the cross-point distortion during the predetermined number of iterations; and \n a plurality of pairs of DAC circuits configured to:\n generate the plurality of intermediate signals; and \n during the predetermined number of iterations, adjust slopes of rising and falling transitions of the plurality of intermediate signals in response to the searching through the array of DAC codes.
