Abstract:
A circuit for performing clock recovery according to a received digital signal. The circuit includes at least an edge sampler and a data sampler for sampling the digital signal, and a clock signal supply circuit. The clock signal supply circuit provides edge clock and data clock signals offset in phase from one another to the respective clock inputs of the edge sampler and the data sampler. A digital phase detector determines if the data clock is early, late or synchronized with respect to data value transitions in the digital signal, and based on that determination provides a phase adjustment signal to the clock signal supply circuit, which is operable to vary phases of the data and edge clock signals accordingly.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of receiving a digital signal comprising:\n providing a first clock signal having a first phase to a data sampler and obtaining a first plurality of samples from the data sampler; providing a second clock signal having a second phase to an edge sampler, wherein the first phase and the second phase are offset with respect to each other, and obtaining a second plurality of samples from the edge sampler; using the first clock signal and second clock signal:\n temporarily storing the first plurality of samples from the data sampler and the second plurality of samples from the edge sampler; and \n in accordance with the temporarily stored first plurality of samples from the data sampler and the second plurality of samples from the edge sampler, providing a sequence of phase correction values; and \n adjusting the first phase of the first clock signal and second phase of the second clock signal based on the sequence of phase correction values.
