Abstract:
A receiver device implements enhanced data reception with edge-based clock and data recovery such as with a flash analog-to-digital converter architecture. In an example embodiment, the device implements a first phase adjustment control loop, with for example, a bang-bang phase detector, that detects data transitions for adjusting sampling at an optimal edge time with an edge sampler by adjusting a phase of an edge clock of the sampler. This loop may further adjust sampling in received data intervals for optimal data reception by adjusting the phase of a data clock of a data sampler such a flash ADC. The device may also implement a second phase adjustment control loop with, for example, a baud-rate phase detector, that detects data intervals for further adjusting sampling at an optimal data time with the data sampler.

Claim (Index 12):
The integrated circuit of  claim 11 , wherein:\n the integrated circuit further comprises circuitry to measure voltage of the incoming data signal at expected data transition times, and to produce second values that each represent whether the recovered clock is early or late relative to the incoming data signal; and the circuitry to implement at least one phase adjustment control loop comprises circuitry to advance or retard phase of the recovered clock dependent on the second values, at times when two adjacent bits in the sequence of bits represent opposite logic states.
