Abstract
A system, method and computer readable storage medium are disclosed for phase interpolator to generate a single phase output clock signal based on plurality of phase-shifted component clock signals and a digital user input control signal to be utilized in combination with a delay-locked loop circuit. In one embodiment, the phase interpolator utilizes a method of phase-traversing when generating the single phase output clock signal that prevents over- or undershooting of the desired target phase of the single phase output clock signal.
