Abstract
In part, the disclosure relates to a source generating four input clock signals; a phase interpolator (PI) circuit that includes four PI quadrant circuits and a PI bias control circuit, wherein each PI quadrant circuit is configured to: receive, via the source, an input clock signal of the four input clock signals, and generate, based on the input clock signal, a pair of intermediate output clock signals of complementary phases; and a current mode logic (CML) to complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) converter.
