    摘要: A voltage translator circuit and a method for operating the same. The voltage translator circuit includes (a) an input node, an output node, and a ground node; (b) a voltage divider circuit including a first and second resistors coupled in series between the input node and the ground node; (c) a start voltage circuit coupled to a first voltage and to the input node; (d) a transfer circuit coupled to the output node; and (e) a capacitive circuit having a first and second capacitive nodes. The first capacitive node is coupled to the voltage divider circuit. The second capacitive node is coupled (i) to the first voltage via the start voltage circuit, and (ii) to the output node via the transfer circuit. In response to the input node changing towards the first voltage, the start voltage circuit is capable of disconnecting the second capacitive node from the first voltage.

    摘要: A phase rotator based on voltage referencing is disclosed. A voltage signal is generated that is proportional to the phase difference between two input signals. The voltage signal is then used as the upper voltage limit for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC is programmable via an input vector to generate a DAC output. The DAC output is used to generate a phase rotated (phase shifted) output, which is at an intermediate phase between the two input signals.
