Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for correcting a code used for delay adjustment are disclosed. An example method includes providing a bit of a thermometer code responsive, at least, to a shift direction signal; and adjusting an amount of a delay responsive to the thermometer code. Providing the bit comprises correcting the bit using one or more adjacent bits on one side of the bit in the thermometer code and one or more adjacent bits on another side of the bit in the thermometer code.
