Abstract:
Circuits and methods for performing a clock and data recovery are disclosed. In one example, a circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes an FSM. The FSM includes: a first accumulator, a second accumulator, and a third accumulator. The first accumulator is configured to receive an input phase code representing a phase timing difference between a data signal and a clock signal at each FSM cycle, to accumulate input phase codes for different FSM cycles, and to generate a first order phase code at each FSM cycle. The second accumulator is coupled to the first accumulator and configured to accumulate the input phase codes and first order phase codes for different FSM cycles, and to generate a second order phase code at each FSM cycle. The third accumulator is coupled to the second accumulator and configured to accumulate the input phase codes and second order phase codes for different FSM cycles, and to generate a third order phase code at each FSM cycle.

Claim (Index 6):
The circuit of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a divider configured to slow down an initial clock provided by the phase interpolator to generate the clock signal; and a deserializer configured to convert the data signal from a serial format into a parallel format and to generate the input phase code representing the phase timing difference between the data signal and the clock signal.
