Abstract:
A circuit for correcting phase interpolator rollover integral non-linearity errors includes a rollover detector circuit for detecting when a rollover event of a phase interpolator has occurred, and a correction circuit that adds a signed predistortion correction to a VCO clock cycle phase fraction value when the rollover detector circuit has detected the interpolator rollover event.
