A low power method of clock signal duty cycle adjustment is presented in this paper. The proposed architecture produces a synchronous signal in the output of system with 50±1% duty cycle over PVT, which is needed to avoid data error and setup/hold time margins violations during farther operation with data. Method also helps to improve noise immunity, because in case of 50% duty cycle signal in the input of synchronous system makes it more noise protected and helps to avoid phase errors between control signals. The presented correction mechanism can be used in the special input/output circuits of several standards such as Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Universal Serial Bus (USB) and some structures of ADC/DACs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
