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 1):
A circuit comprising:\n a complementary signal path circuit configured to receive a pair of complementary input signals and generate a pair of complementary output signals, wherein the complementary signal path circuit comprises:\n a plurality of pairs of circuit stages, wherein each pair of circuit stages is configured to generate a respective one of a plurality of pairs of complementary intermediate signals; and \n a control circuit configured to:\n measure a duty cycle distortion of a pair of complementary sample signals; and \n in response to the measurement, set drive strengths of the plurality of pairs of circuit stages.
