Patent attributes
Circuits, controllers, and techniques are provided for reducing non-linearities in a phase rotator. A circuit, according to one implementation, includes a single Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) circuit having a main path and a return path forming a feedback loop. The circuit also includes one or more phase rotators connected to an output of the single PLL circuit outside the feedback loop and one or more adaptable Look-Up Tables (LUTs) populated with operating code to be provided to the one or more phase rotators for defining operating characteristics of the one or more phase rotators. Furthermore, the circuit includes a control device configured to receive phase response characteristics from the one or more phase rotators. The control device is further configured to modify the operating code of the one or more adaptable LUTs based on the phase response characteristics to reduce non-linearities of the one or more phase rotators.
