Method and apparatus are described for duty cycle determination and adjustment. More particularly, an output signal is sampled and provided to duty cycle check circuitry which characterizes the duty cycle of the sampled output signal. This characterization may be provided to a wafer prober or integrated circuit tester to determine whether duty cycle is within an acceptance range. Alternatively, the duty cycle indicator signal may be provided to drive adjustment circuitry. In response to duty cycle not being within an acceptance range, drive adjust circuitry provides a drive adjustment signal to adjust duty cycle at an output buffer by turning on one or more p-channel drive transistors, one or more n-channel drive transistors, or a combination of both. Moreover, wells may be biased responsive to a detected duty cycle in order to correct the duty cycle.
