Abstract
A phase interpolator implemented in an integrated circuit to generate a clock signal is described. The phase interpolator comprises a plurality of inputs coupled to receive a plurality of clock signals; a plurality of transistor pairs, each transistor pair having a first transistor coupled to a first output node and a second transistor coupled to a second output node, wherein a first clock signal associated with the transistor pair is coupled to a gate of the first transistor and an inverted first clock signal associated with the transistor pair is coupled to a gate of the second transistor; a first active inductor load coupled to the first output node; and a second active inductor load coupled to the second output node.
