Abstract

An apparatus includes a phase interpolator configured to receive a four-phase signal and output a six-phase signal, and a summing network configured to receive the six-phase signal and output a two-phase signal, wherein: a first phase, a third phase, and a fifth phase of the six-phase signal are summed to generate a second phase of the two-phase signal, while a second phase, a fourth phase, and a sixth phase of the six-phase signal are summed to generate a first phase of the two-phase signal.
