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 17):
The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the characterization signal generation circuit comprises a first XOR operator configured to provide a first XOR signal by performing an XOR operation on the first sampled data signal and the second synchronized signal, wherein the characterization signal generation circuit further comprises a second XOR operator configured to provide a second XOR signal by performing the XOR operation on the first synchronized signal and the second synchronized signal, wherein the characterization signal generation circuit further comprises a third XOR operator configured to provide a third XOR signal by performing the XOR operation on the first synchronized signal and the third synchronized signal, wherein the characterization signal generation circuit further comprises a fourth XOR operator configured to provide a fourth XOR signal by performing the XOR operation on the first sampled data signal and the third synchronized signal, and wherein each of the first XOR operator, the second XOR operator, the third XOR operator, and the fourth XOR operator comprises at least one XOR gate.
