ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling an output phase of a phase interpolator, by forming an M bit control word, designating N bits of the control word as a fractional number portion, designating M-N bits of the control word as a whole number portion, adjusting a phase jump of the phase interpolator at a designated clock cycle by a first number of phases as designated by the whole number portion plus a second number of phases as designated by the fractional number portion. The designated clock cycle can be identified by numbering clock cycles with a count value from counter having a repeating period of 2N, and for each clock cycle identified by a multiple of the count value of 2kwithin the repeating period, where k is a bit-wise position within the fractional number portion having a value of 0≦k≦N-1, the second number of phases can equal a binary value of the fractional number portion at the kthposition, for any k.
