Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A phase rotator apparatus has phase interpolation and transimpedance amplifier (TIA) stages. This separates gain and bandwidth as degrees of design freedom, facilitating a reduction in power consumption while enabling the data link to transmit and receive higher speed data. Four phases of an incoming signal are combined by the phase interpolation stage using weighting currents and current-source loads to produce a phase shifted current based signal that the TIA stage receives as input. The TIA stage then converts the signal to a voltage based signal. The quiescent operating voltage of the stage outputs can be maintained with common mode feedback circuits and injector currents.
