A system and method are provided for controlling the on/off timing relationship between two transistors (202a, 202b) in a differential that are connected at a tail node (207) to a common current generator (204, 206). The on/off timing relationship is controlled by on/off signals that control the state of the transistors such that one transistor turns one while the other is turning off. An overlap signal is derived from the tail node excursion and is indicative of whether the on/off signals are overlapping too much or too little. A control signal is generated based on the overlap signal. The timing of driver signals used to drive the on/off signals is adjusted based on the control signal. When more overlap is needed, the timing of the driver signals is adjusted such that there is more overlap of the derived on/off signals. When less overlap is needed, the timing of the driver signals is adjusted such that there is less overlap of the derived on/off signals. An embodiment that adjusts the voltage of the on/off signals to control the on/off timing is also disclosed. |
