Abstract

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed, such as those including an oscillator circuit that generates an alternate clock. A multiplexing circuit can be coupled to the alternate clock and an input clock. The alternate clock has a more accurate duty cycle than the input clock. A clock path can be coupled to an output of the multiplexing circuit. The more accurate alternate clock can be coupled to the clock path during a test mode.
