Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for receiving a control step input at a binary-to-thermometer decoder and responsively generating bits of a thermometer codeword representative of the control step input, providing the bits of the thermometer codeword to a plurality of differential pairs comprising a first transistor and a second transistor, each differential pair configurable for one of directing current to an in-phase (I) common node or directing current to a quadrature phase (Q) common node and switching between directing current to the I common node and the Q common node, and forming an output signal based on current drawn through the I and Q common nodes, the output signal having an intermediate phase with respect to a first and a second reference signal.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein first and second selection transistor pairs of the four selection transistor pairs are enabled by corresponding bits of the two selection bits, and wherein third and fourth selection transistor pairs are enabled by corresponding complemented versions of the two selection bits.
