Abstract
This application discusses, among other things, an interpolator architecture for digital-to-time converters (DTCs). In an example, an interpolator can include interpolation cells and retention cells configured provide an interpolated output based on at least two offset clock signals. In certain examples, an example interpolator can provide contention free control of the interpolator output with improved noise immunity.
