    Abstract: A quadrature error correction circuit includes a duty cycle adjusting circuit, a phase interpolator, a phase detector, and a delay control circuit. The duty cycle adjusting circuit generates a first corrected clock signal and a second corrected clock signal whose skew and duty cycle error are concurrently adjusted by adjusting a delay of edges of a second clock signal and adjusting a delay of a falling edge of a first clock signal based on first through fourth control code sets. The phase interpolator generates a second delayed and selected clock signal by delaying a second selected clock signal selected from first through fourth adjusted clock signals. A phase detector detects a phase difference between a first selected clock signal and the second delayed and selected clock signal to generate an up/down signal. The delay control circuit generates the first through fourth control code sets based on the up/down signal.
