A linear phase interpolator based on non-equal current source array is presented to solve the problem of increasing clock jitter caused by the non-linearity of phase interpolator in clock and data recovery circuit. According to the inverse function relationship between the phase of the output clock and the weights of the tail current sources
the ratio of each current source in the tail current source array of the interpolator is adjusted elaborately based on the traditional phase interpolator. Moreover
the control transistor is used as a common gate transistor so as to improve the matching degree and the stability of the current source. Thus the linear relation between the phase of the output clock and the control signals is realized. The regulation precision of CDR is improved while the jitter in recovering clock is reduced. A clock and data recovery circuit based on the presented linear phase interpolator is designed using the 0.25 μm CMOS technology. Simulation results show that the maximum phase error of the proposed linear phase interpolator is 9.44%
while the maximum phase error of the traditional interpolator is 63.68%
that is
the presented interpolator significantly reduces the clock jitter of the CDR.
