ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for generating multi-phase signals includes a delay chain to produce multi-phase signals, a slow boundary signal, and a fast boundary signal. An array of trim capacitors is connected to the delay chain. A timing control window circuit produces a control signal when a reference signal is outside a timing control window defined by the slow boundary signal and the fast boundary signal. A digital circuit produces a digital capacitive trim signal for application to the array of trim capacitors in response to the control signal. The digital capacitive trim signal alters the capacitive loading of the delay chain.
