Abstract
A unified blender/eye-surf circuit has a first signal path operable in a blender mode to blend phases of two phase-shifted clock signals of a first plurality of phase-shifted clock signals in a fixed ratio to generate a first blended clock signal, and operable in an eye-surf test mode to create variable phase offsets as weighted combinations of pairs phase-shifted clock signals of the first plurality of phase-shifted clock signals to generate the first blended clock signal. A second signal path is operable in the blender mode to blend phases of two phase-shifted clock signals of a second plurality of phase-shifted clock signals in a fixed ratio to generate a second blended clock signal, and operable in an eye-surf test mode to create variable phase offsets as weighted combinations of pairs phase-shifted clock signals of the second plurality of phase-shifted clock signals to generate the second blended clock signal.
