Abstract

A phase interpolation circuit includes: a first buffer circuit configured to adjust a rise time or a fall time of a first reference clock signal based on a first control signal to generate a first input clock signal; a second buffer circuit configured to adjust a rise time or a fall time of a second reference clock signal based on a second control signal to generate a second input clock signal; a detection circuit configured to detect a rise time or a fall time of the first input clock signal or the second input clock signal and generate the first control signal and the second control signal according to a detection result thereof; and a mixer circuit configured to generate an output clock signal having a phase between a phase of the first input clock signal and a phase of the second input clock signal.
