The total sight, interpolater 130 is the frameworks that adopt differential input and differential output, so all has similar framework in the unit and receive or produce inversion signal.In addition, the phase interpolation that carries out of interpolater 130 can utilize the basic operation formula shown in the formula 1 to represent:

Wherein, Φ AWith Φ BBe respectively the phase place of reference signal P0 and P1, W is total interpolation amount, and w is the interpolation amount, Φ ABThe phase place of the differential input signal that goes out for institute's interpolation.
In operation, the fixed voltage VT1 in the bias voltage generation unit 210 is in order to P transistor npn npn MP21~MP2n and P transistor npn npn MP41~MP4n are biased in linear zone.Therefore, the P transistor npn npn MP11 and the MP21 that just are connected in series in twos, when P transistor npn npn MP11 conducting, bias voltage VA0 will be pulled to supply voltage VD.At this moment, the N-type transistor MN11 in the current source 220 is with conducting, and then the magnitude of current of raising electric current I 1.Otherwise when not conducting of P transistor npn npn MP11, bias voltage VA0 will be pulled down to earthed voltage.At this moment, the N-type transistor MN11 in the current source 220 is with not conducting, and then the magnitude of current of reduction electric current I 1.In other words, along with the change of bias voltage VA0~VAn and VB0~VBn, the N-type transistor MN11~MN1n in the current source 220 and the conducting number of MN21~MN2n are also with different.Thus, electric current I 1 and the I2 that current source 220 provides also will produce corresponding the variation, and then reach the adjustment of the interpolation amount w when carrying out phase interpolation.
For instance, if current source 220 comprises 6 N-type transistor MN11~MN13 and MN21~MN23, and the phase place of reference signal P0 and P1 be respectively 0 the degree with 45 the degree, then in the control of interpolation phase place, the resolution of digital controlled signal then is 3.In addition, when digital controlled signal be { during 011}, 1 P transistor npn npn MN11 conducting only to be arranged among 3 P transistor npn npn MP11~MP13.That is this moment is in order to only to have N-type transistor MN11 conducting among 3 N-type transistor MN11~MN13 that control electric current I 1.Therefore, in the calculating of formula 1, Φ A=0, Φ B=45, W=3, w=1 are so the phase place of the input signal CKI that MN3 and MN4 is produced by differential input is 30 degree.
