Abstract
A method and apparatus (20) for adjusting a duty cycle of a binary signal (36) having a high phase and a low phase. The method includes applying a delay to the binary signal to create a delayed signal, and performing a Boolean logical operation on the binary signal and the delayed signal, so as to generate an output signal (40, 52) having a duty cycle different from the duty cycle of the binary signal.
Claims9
A method for adjusting a duty cycle of a binary signal having a high phase and a low phase, the method comprising:
- applying a delay to the binary signal to create a delayed signal;
- and
- performing a Boolean logical operation on the binary signal and the delayed signal, so as to generate an output signal having a duty cycle different from the duty cycle of the binary signal.
Apparatus for adjusting a duty cycle of a binary signal having a high phase and a low phase, comprising:
- a delay block, coupled to receive the binary signal and to generate a delayed signal responsive thereto;
- and
- a Boolean logic element, coupled to receive as inputs the binary signal and the delayed signal, and to perform thereon a Boolean logical operation, so as to generate an output signal having a duty cycle different from the duty cycle of the binary signal.
