Abstract
A high-speed clock generator device includes a phase-interpolator (PI) circuit, a smoothing block, and inverter-based low-pass filters. The PI circuit receives a multiple clock signals with different phase angles and generates an output clock signal having a correct phase angle. The smoothing block smooths the clock signals with different phase angles and generates a number of smooth clock signals featuring improved linearity. The inverter-based low-pass filters filter harmonics of the clock signals with different phase angles.
