Abstract

An in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) clock generator is described. The I/Q clock generated includes a poly-phase filter configured to generate a four-phase quadrature clock signal in response to a two-phase quadrature clock signal generated in response to a single-ended input clock signal. The I/Q clock generated also includes a phase interpolator configured to generate an output four-phase quadrature clock signal from the four-phase quadrature clock signal. The I/Q clock generated further includes a poly-phase filter tune circuit coupled to an output of the phase interpolator. The poly-phase filter tune circuit is configured to generate a control voltage for the poly-phase filter to tune the four-phase quadrature clock signal from the poly-phase filter.
