Original Abstract Submitted

A phase mixer circuit is configured to receive a first input clock signal and a second input clock signal, and to generate an intermediate clock signal having an intermediate phase between phases of the first and second input clock signals. The phase mixer circuit is configured to determine a logic value of a mixed code signal, and to generate an output clock signal by mixing one of the first and second input clock signals and the intermediate clock signal.
