Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a plurality of sampling circuits configured to receive a non-Non Return to Zero (non-NRZ) data signal; and a control circuit coupled to the plurality of sampling circuits, wherein the control circuit is configured to provide one or more control signals indicating whether to decrease or increase a frequency of a clock signal associated with the non-NRZ data signal based on the non-NRZ data signal.

Claim (Index 12):
The apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising a synchronization circuit coupled to the plurality of sampling circuits, wherein the synchronization circuit is configured to provide a first synchronized signal, a second synchronized signal, and a third synchronized signal based on the first sampled data signal, the second sampled data signal, the third sampled data signal, and the first clock signal, wherein a time duration between any two transition edges selected from a group consisting of a first transition edge associated with the first synchronized signal, a second transition edge associated with the second synchronized signal, and a third transition edge associated with the third synchronized signal is equal to an integer number of a clock period, wherein the clock period is inverse of the frequency of the one of the different clock signals, and wherein one of the first transition edge, the second transition edge, and the third transition edge is a rising edge or a falling edge.
