A system and method which compensates for phase mixer circuit non-linearities within a clock and data recovery (CDR) system during active operation. The CDR system includes compensation circuitry and phase accumulation circuitry. The compensation circuitry generates a first compensation signal based on a first compensation value. The phase accumulation circuitry receives the first compensation signal and a phase accumulator input update signal. The phase accumulation circuitry combines the first compensation signal with the phase accumulator input update signal to compensate for a first non-linearity within phase mixer (PMI) circuitry.
