1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a clock generator to generate at least four differential clock signals; and

    a distributed polyphase filter to obtain phase-corrected multi-phase clock signals based on the at least four differential clock signals, wherein the distributed polyphase filter comprises;

    at least four inverters; and

    for each differential clock signal of the at least four differential clock signals;

    an input to receive the differential clock signal;

    an output to provide a phase-corrected clock signal; and

    a direct coupling between the input and the output, wherein the direct coupling does not include any of the at least four inverters.
