Abstract: A circuit for receiving a signal in an integrated circuit is described. The circuit comprises a sampler configured to receive an input data signal, wherein the sampler generates sampled data and a recovered clock; a clock and data recovery circuit configured to receive the sampled data and the recovered clock and to generate a phase interpolator code; and a phase interpolator configured to receive the phase interpolator code; wherein the phase interpolator generates multiple phase interpolator control signals during a clock cycle based upon the phase interpolator code generated for the clock cycle.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and circuit for clock phase generation are disclosed. The circuit includes an injection locked oscillator, a loop controller, and a phase interpolator. The injection locked oscillator includes an input for receiving an injected clock signal and an output for forwarding a set of fixed clock phases. The loop controller includes an input for receiving a phase separation error of the fixed clock phases and an output for forwarding a supply voltage derived from the phase separation error. The supply voltage matches the free running frequency of the injection locked oscillator to a frequency of the injected clock signal. The phase interpolator includes an input for receiving the set of fixed clock phases directly from the injection locked oscillator, an input for receiving the supply voltage from the loop controller, and an output for forwarding an arbitrary clock phase.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for a differential active inductor load for inductive peaking in which cross-coupled capacitive elements are used to cancel out, or at least reduce, the limiting effect of the gate-to-drain capacitance (Cgd) of transistors in the active inductor load. The cross-coupled capacitive elements extend the range over which the active inductor load behaves inductively and increase the quality factor (Q) of each active inductor. Therefore, the achievable inductive peaking of the load is significantly increased, which leads to providing larger signal swing across the load for a given power or, alternatively, lower power for a given signal swing.

Abstract: An injection locked oscillator (ILO) circuit is disclosed. The ILO circuit may include a first clock injection stage including a first programmable inverter in series with a first self-biased inverter. The first injection stage may receive a first input clock having a first frequency and generate a first injection signal. The ILO circuit may further include a second clock injection stage including a second programmable inverter in series with a second self-biased inverter. The second injection stage may receive a second input clock signal having the first frequency and to generate a second injection signal. The ILO may further include a phase locked loop (PLL) stage including a multi-stage ring oscillator. The PLL stage may receive the first injection signal and the second injection signal and to generate an output clock signal based at least in part on the first frequency.
