Claim One:
1. An apparatus for data recovery of a plurality of sequentially provided electrical representations of optical data bits, comprising: at least two parallel detection subcircuits for receiving said sequentially provided electrical representations of optical data bits, said parallel detection subcircuits alternately processing input optical data bits according to odd valued clock signals and even valued clock signals; wherein each of said at least two parallel detection subcircuits determine output logic values for respective ones of said plurality of sequentially provided electrical representations of optical data bits; at least two signal analyzers for comparing received electrical representations of optical data bits to a high voltage threshold and a low voltage threshold, respectively; at least one respective memory device for each of said at least two signal analyzers for respectively storing results of said comparison; a selective multiplexer for receiving the stored results of each of said memory devices; and a feedback circuit for providing a control signal to a selective multiplexer in a complimentary parallel detection subcircuit.
