Abstract
A method for providing an interpolated output signal includes, in at least one aspect, receiving a plurality of phase signals applying each phase signal of the plurality of phase signals to switching elements of a first set of switching elements receiving a plurality of select signals, applying an asserted select signal to a first switching element of a second set of switching elements to provide a connection between a first switching element of the first set of switching elements and a first output terminal, and applying the asserted select signal to a second switching element of the second set of switching elements to provide a connection between a second switching element of the first set of switching elements and a second output terminal.
