Abstract
A DTC (digital-to-time converter) includes: an inverter configured to receive an input clock at an input node and output an output clock at an output node, and a variable source degeneration network controlled by a digital word, wherein the inverter includes a transistor with a gate terminal connected to the input node, a drain terminal coupled to the output node, and a source terminal connected to the variable source degeneration network, and the variable source degeneration network includes a parallel connection of a resistor and a digitally-controlled capacitor of a capacitance controlled by the digital word.
