Abstract
A system and method for implementing an IQ generator includes a master latch that generates an I signal in response to a clock input signal, and a slave latch that generates a Q signal in response to an inverted clock input signal. A master selector is configured to provide a communication path from the master latch to the slave latch, and a slave selector is configured to provide a feedback path from the slave latch to the master latch. The foregoing I and Q signals are output directly from the respective master and slave latches without any intervening electronic circuitry.
