Abstract
A hybrid circuit includes a current-starved voltage-controlled circuit configured to adjust a first type of signal difference, and a phase-interpolated voltage controlled circuit configured to adjust a second type of signal difference. The current-starved circuit and the phase-interpolated circuit cooperate to provide improved operational performance of the hybrid circuit.
