Calibration circuit and associated calibrating method capable of precisely adjusting clocks with distorted duty cycles and phases

摘要

A calibration circuit, including a duty cycle correction circuit and a phase correction circuit and associated calibrating method, are provided. Firstly, a first duty cycle adjusted clock and a second duty cycle adjusted clock are generated by the duty cycle correction circuit based on a first input clock and a second input clock, respectively. Then, a first delay adjusted clock and a second delay adjusted clock are generated by the phase correction circuit based on a phase of the first duty cycle adjusted clock, and a detection signal is generated. The detection signal is related to a duty cycle of the first input clock, a duty cycle of the second input clock, and a phase difference between the second delay adjusted clock and the first delay adjusted clock. Later, the duty cycle correction circuit and the phase correction circuit are controlled in response to the detection signal.
