Patent attributes
In an example embodiments, a single signal-to-differential signal converter includes a first inverter for receiving and inverting a single input signal and outputting an inverted single input signal to a first node, and a first differential signal generating portion for generating a first signal and an inverted first signal which have the opposite phases to each other to second and third nodes in response to the single input signal. The single signal-to-differential signal converter further includes a second differential signal generating portion for generating a second signal and an inverted second signal which have the opposite phases to each other to the second and third nodes in response to the inverted single input signal, wherein the single signal-to-differential signal converter outputs differential signals such that the first and second signals applied to the second node are merged by a phase interpolation and the inverted first and second signals applied to the third node are merged by a phase interpolation.
