A multi-phase clock signal generator, comprising: a ring phase shifting loop, including a plurality of controllable delay cells, for generating output clock signals having different phases via the controllable delay cells according to a input clock signal, wherein delay amount of the controllable delay cells are determined by a biasing voltage; a phase skew detecting circuit, for computing phase differences of the output clock signals to generate a phase skew detecting signal; and a biasing circuit, for providing the biasing voltage according to the phase skew detecting signal. The above-mentioned ring phase shifting loop can operate independently from the multi-phase clock signal generator, without receiving the biasing voltage, for phase-shifting a input clock signal to generate output clock signals with different phases, wherein the output clock signals are respectively output at different output terminals respectively located between the phase shifting units. |
