Abstract
A digital-to-time converter (DTC) is used to generate code dependent delays in fractional clock dividers by generating a fractional output clock, corresponding to a reference signal, from a divided signal having different time periods for obtaining the fractional output clock. The DTC contains an input buffer coupled to receive the divided signal and to generate an intermediate output, wherein the current drawn from a power supply contains a first average current magnitude when the divided signal has a lower time period, and a second average current magnitude when the divided signal has a higher time period. A correction-component compensates for the difference of the first average current magnitude and the second average current magnitude to improve linearity of the DTC.
