Abstract

A duty cycle correction amplification circuit is disclosed and comprises a first amplifier comprising dual first MOS differential input transistors gated respectively by first and second reference signals, and adapted to generate first and second preliminary signals, a second amplifier comprising dual second MOS differential input transistors respectively gated by first and second preliminary signals and adapted to generate first and second internal signals, and a duty cycle corrector adapted to correct a duty cycle associated with the first and second internal signals, wherein one of the first and second internal signals comprises an amplified output signal having a corrected duty cycle.
