Abstract:
A data recovery circuit adjusts skew between a first and second clock signals when a signal level of recovered data changes relative to first reference level between a first timing of the first clock signal and a second timing of the second clock signal. Prior to adjusting the skew, a first signal level of the recovered data at the first timing is compared to a second and/or a third reference level. A second signal level at the second timing is compared to the second and/or the third reference level. The skew is adjusted based on a first sign of an error of the first signal level relative to one of the second and third reference levels. The first sign is opposite to a second sign of an error of the second signal level relative to another one of the second and third reference levels.

Claim (Index 10):
An electronic circuit, comprising:\n a data recovery circuit to recover data from a received signal based on at least a first clock signal and a second clock signal which provide different timings; and a clock recovery circuit to adjust skew between the first clock signal and the second clock signal when the recovered data transitions from a first data value at a first timing of the first clock signal to a second data value at a second timing of the second clock signal following the first timing, wherein: the clock recovery circuit is to adjust the skew between the first clock signal and the second clock signal based on a result of a comparison of a second reference level higher than a first reference level and a third reference level lower than the first reference level with a first signal level associated with the first data value and a second signal level associated with the second data value, the first reference level corresponding to detection of a transition of the recovered data, a second delay of the second clock signal is to increase when a first delay of the first clock signal decreases to adjust the skew, and the second delay is to decrease when the first delay increases to adjust the skew.
