ABSTRACT:
A phase interpolation device and a slew rate control device thereof. The slew rate control device comprises a slew rate control circuit, source followers and a comparator. The slew rate control circuit receives clock signals and a control signal, and adjusts slew rate of the clock signals according to the control signal. The source followers each comprise an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminals of the source followers are coupled to the slew rate control circuit to receive the adjusted clock signals, respectively. The output terminals of the source followers are connected together at a node. The comparator has a first input terminal coupled to the node, a second input terminal receiving a voltage reference, and an output terminal providing the control signal for the slew rate control circuit. The setting of the voltage reference is dependent on the desired slew rate of the adjusted clock signals.
