ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,445,137, issued on Oct. 14, was assigned to Apple Inc. (Cupertino, Calif.).

"Low noise, supply rejecting linear phase interpolator" was invented by Kobie Shmuel (Herzliya, Israel).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A phase interpolator circuit includes a capacitance circuit, a switched resistor network, and interpolation management circuitry. The resistor network receives a start-phase signal and an end-phase signal, and generates an interpolated output signal from a voltage on the capacitance circuit. The interpolation management circuitry receives an interpolation code defining an intermediate phase between the start-phase signal and the en...
