Abstract
A circuit provides for phase adjustment of an offset clock pair, and includes an analog stage and a digital stage. The analog stage provides for generating an adjusted offset clock pair and detecting a phase difference between the adjusted offset clock pair. The digital stage operates to quantify the phase difference and provide a command for further adjusting the phase of the adjusted offset clock pair, at the analog stage, towards a target phase offset value.
