We compare the prior art in phase interpolators (PIs), classifying them as current-mode, voltage-mode, and integrating-mode PI. Next, we present an integrating-mode PI where the voltage slopes with high phase linearity are generated through the integration of phase-shifted weighted current sources. The constant and variable voltage slopes are generated by current sources/sinks created using stacke...Show More
