    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems, methods, devices, and circuits for correcting integral non-linearity using a hybrid phase interpolator. Consistent with some embodiments, a circuit comprises a first and second phase interpolator mixer connected to an injection-locked ring. The first phase interpolator mixer provides a first injection signal to the injection-locked ring based on a clock signal, and the second phase interpolator mixer provides a second injection signal to the injection-locked ring. The first and second injection signals have inverse step size profiles. The injection-locked ring generates a first and second output clock phase based on the first and second injection signals. In generating the first and second output clock phases, the injection-locked ring averages the step size profiles of the first and second injection signals.

    Abstract: A phase interpolator of a physical layer (PHY) device comprise a phase interpolator to generate a set of asynchronous sampler clocks. A sampler of the PHY device samples a calibration data pattern using a first sampler clock from the set of asynchronous sampler clocks. A calibration control component of the PHY device detects a misalignment of a phase relationship among the set of asynchronous sampler clocks based on the sampled data. In response to detecting the misalignment, the calibration control component calibrates the first sampler clock using a second sampler clock and a third sampler clock.
