Abstract

See full text

A clock phase detector circuit device and method. The device can include a first and second clock inputs connected to two pairs of transistors, each transistor having a first, second, and third terminal. The first pair includes a p-type transistor and n-type transistor configured such that the third terminals of each transistor are connected to form a first output node. Similarly, the second pair includes a p-type transistor and n-type transistor, the second p-type transistor and n-type transistor configured such that the third terminals of each transistor are connected to form a second output node. The first clock input is connected to the first terminals of the first p-type transistor and the second n-type transistor, while the second clock input is connected to the first terminals of the second p-type transistor and the first n-type transistor. As configured, the voltage outputs represent the phase difference between the clock inputs.
