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 1):
A circuit for receiving a digital signal comprising:\n a data sampler and an edge sampler for sampling the digital signal, each sampler having a clock input; a clock signal supply circuit for providing a first clock signal having a first phase to the data sampler clock input and a second clock signal having a second phase to the edge sampler clock input, wherein the first and second phases are offset with respect to each other; temporary storage for receiving a first plurality of samples of the digital signal sampled by the data sampler and a second plurality of samples of the digital signal sampled by the edge sampler; and a digital phase detector for:\n providing a sequence of phase correction values using the first clock signal and second clock signal; \n wherein the clock signal supply circuit is operative to selectively vary the first and second phases based on the sequence of phase correction values.
