1. A phase splitter circuit comprising:

  • a first signal transfer path for receiving an input signal to output a first output signal;

    a second signal transfer path for receiving the input signal to output a second output signal with an inverted phase with respect to the first output signal; and

    a duty cycle correction circuit operating responsive to the first and second output signals, wherein the duty cycle correction circuit controls pull-up and pull-down speeds of the first and second signal transfer paths to opposite directions in response to the first and second output signals so that each of the first and second output signals has a half duty cycle when a duty cycle of the input signal or of the respective first and second output signals deviates from the half duty cycle.
