Clock data recovery circuit

Abstract:

A clock data recovery circuit is disclosed. The clock data recovery circuit includes a bit stream data rate divider and a digital phase-locked loop including a linear phase detector. The bit stream data rate divider is configured to divide a frequency of a serial data stream by a designated division factor to generate a divided serial data stream. The linear phase detector is configured to compare phases of the divided serial data stream and a feedback signal within the digital phase-locked loop and output an UP signal associated with phase lagging and a DOWN signal associated with phase leading of the feedback signal versus the divided serial data stream. The digital phase-locked loop is configured to output a clock signal having a phase based on a digital difference between a digitized-UP signal derived from the UP signal and a digitized-DOWN signal derived from the DOWN signal.
