Abstract

A phase interpolator is provided with a plurality of slices. Each slice includes a first switch for mixing a first clock signal into an interpolated output signal and a second switch for mixing a second clock signal into the interpolated output signal. In response to a high-resolution signal, at least one of the slices may switch on both the first switch and the second switch.
