Abstract: A phase interpolator for a CDR circuit produces an output clock having level transitions between the level transitions on two input clocks. The input clocks drive cross-coupled differential amplifiers with an output that can be varied in phase by variable current throttling or steering, according to an input control value. The differential amplifiers produce an output signal with a transition spanning a time between the start of a transition on the leading input clock up to the end of the transition on the lagging input clock. The output clock is linear so long as the transitions on the two input clocks overlap. Active integrators each having an amplifier with a series resistance and capacitive feedback path are coupled to each input to the cross-coupled differential amplifiers, which enhances overlap of the input clock rise times and improves the linearity of the interpolated output signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a reusable cut mask or trim mask that can be used for multiple design levels, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by determining positions of a plurality of mask cuts for a reusable cut mask or a reusable trim mask.

The routing path intersects one or more of the plurality of mask cuts at positions that form distinct shapes that connect nodes of an integrated chip sharing a same electric network. By routing shapes on a plurality of design levels to intersect one or more of the plurality of mask cuts, the cut masks can be reused between the plurality of levels, therefore decreasing mask costs during fabrication.
