Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to phase alignment, in particular to phase alignment circuitry (and parts thereof) for example for use in a multiplexer or other circuitry in which data is transmitted from one stage to another. Consideration is given to phase detection and phase rotation. Such circuitry may be implemented as integrated circuitry, for example on an IC chip.

Claim (Index 10):
Multiplexer circuitry as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the phase rotator is configured to adjust the phase of the transmission clock signal by selecting as the transmission clock signal a clock signal from among a plurality of candidate time-interleaved clock signals that are phase shifted relative to each other,\n optionally wherein the phase rotator comprises: a plurality of input nodes configured to receive respective clock signals of the plurality of candidate clock signals; an output node; and selector circuitry operable, based on the control signal, to adjust which one of the candidate clock signals is selected to be output at the output node via a corresponding path through the selector circuitry, wherein the phase rotator is configured such that the propagation delays of the candidate clock signals between the input and output nodes when selected are the same as one another.
