Abstract
An integrated phase adjusting circuit () for the generation of a clock output signal (CLK) with a phase intermediate the phases of first and second input signals of equal frequency with a fixed phase shift between said first and second signals is proposed. The circuit has an interpolator unit () which determines the phase of the clock signal relative to either one of the first input signal and the second input signal, and is controlled externally by a control signal (PH) to execute a phase step if the phase of the clock signal is to be shifted. The circuit () comprises a synchronization unit () which synchronizes the phase step with the clock output signal generated by the circuit.
