Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for phase interpolators are provided. An example apparatus comprises a phase interpolator and a controller coupled to the phase interpolator. The controller is configured to provide a digital timing code to the phase interpolator, and the phase interpolator is configured to apply a correction to the received digital timing code based, at least in part, on phase interpolator error correction data from a data structure containing phase interpolator error correction data.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a phase interpolator configured to:
- adjust a timing signal based, at least in part, on received timing codes;
- and
- adjust at least one timing code based, at least in part, on received error correction codes.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a phase interpolator, timing codes;
- receiving, by the phase interpolator, error correction codes in association with receipt of the timing codes;
- and
- adjusting at least one timing code based, at least in part, on the received error correction codes.
A system, comprising:
- a phase interpolator;
- and
- a device under test (DUT) coupled to the phase interpolator, wherein the phase interpolator is configured to apply error correction to a received digital timing code based, at least in part, on received phase interpolator error correction data.
