Patent ID: 7346794

Claim:
A transceiver, comprising: a boundary phase aligner for providing synchronous clocking phase alignment between a first and a second functional module; and an output signal aligner for providing phase alignment in a plurality of outputs, wherein the output signal aligner is coupled to the boundary phase aligner and comprises: a plurality of drivers configured for providing channel bonding for output data, each of the plurality of drivers including a data port for receiving data and an output for transmitting data; and a skew controller coupled to the plurality of drivers, the skew controller providing a skew control signal to each of the plurality of drivers, the skew control signal to each of the plurality of drivers providing alignment of the outputs of the plurality of drivers; and wherein the output signal aligner further comprises a phase locked loop, the phase locked loop including an amplifier, a local oscillator, a charge pump, and a loop filter, wherein a static phase offset signal is injected at an output of the charge pump output and an input of the loop filter to provide a static current input for adjusting an output phase of the local oscillator.
