Abstract

A circuit for multiplying a clock signal. The circuit includes a phase interpolator having two inputs for receiving complementary clock signals. The output of the phase interpolator is connected to an input in an exclusive OR gate. One of the two complementary input signals also is sent into the exclusive OR gate, wherein a multiplied clock signal is generated at the output of the exclusive OR gate.
