Abstract
Circuits, devices, and methods relating to a phase interpolator are described herein. The phase interpolator may include a first plurality of functional units and a second plurality of functional units, and may be controlled, in part, by an encoding scheme. The phase interpolator may be designed to have a layout such that a turn-on resistance across the first plurality of functional units in response to a first code of the encoding scheme is equal to a turn-on resistance across the second plurality of functional units in response to a second code of the encoding scheme.
