Patent attributes
A phase interpolator circuit may comprise a multiplexer circuit (MUX) to receive a plurality of clock signals at MUX inputs and to output a first clock signal and a second clock signal that are out of phase with each other, a digital to analog converter circuit (DAC) to convert a digital input to first and second DAC output currents such that a sum of the first and second DAC output currents comprises a substantially constant current value, and a weighted averager circuit coupled to the MUX and the DAC. The weighted averager circuit may operate to sum weighted first and second clock signals and to output a phase interpolated clock signal. The first clock signal may be weighted according to the first DAC output current and the second clock signal may be weighted according to the second DAC output current. Other apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
