Abstract

A clock conditioning circuit includes a duty cycle correction circuit. The duty cycle correction circuit has a first input capacitor, a first self-biasing inverter and a variable capacitor. The first self-biasing inverter has an input coupled to the first input capacitor. The variable capacitor may be coupled to the first input capacitor. The variable capacitor may be configured to receive a first clock signal. A capacitance of the variable capacitor may be programmable by a capacitance control signal.
