Abstract:
A phase interpolator implemented in an integrated circuit to generate a clock signal is described. The phase interpolator comprises a plurality of inputs (121) coupled to receive a plurality of clock signals; a plurality of transistor pairs (330, 332, 340, 342), each transistor pair having a first transistor coupled to a first output node (310) and a second transistor coupled to a second output node (314), wherein a first clock signal associated with the transistor pair is coupled to a gate of the first transistor and an inverted first clock signal associated with the transistor pair is coupled to a gate of the second transistor; a first active inductor load (308) coupled to the first output node; and a second active inductor load (312) coupled to the second output node.
