A phase interpolator with a DAC outputting a first and second value responsive to a control code. A first current mirror generates a first current proportional to the first value. A second current mirror generates a second current proportional to the second value. A first FET pair comprising a first and second FET such that the source terminals of the first FET and the second FET are electrically connected and connect to the first current mirror. A second FET pair comprising a third and fourth FET such that the source terminals of the third FET and the fourth FET are electrically connected and connect to the second current mirror. A first terminal outputs a phase adjusted clock signal as compared to the clock signal, from the first FET and the third FET. A second terminal outputs an inverted phase adjusted clock signal, from the second FET and the fourth FET.
