  • Patent number: 11967959
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a clock data recovery method having quick locking and bandwidth stabilizing mechanism used in a clock data recovery circuit. A relative position relation between a serial data and a sampling clock is detected by a phase detection circuit in an adaptive control period to generate a tracking direction. The tracking direction of a first clock period is directly outputted as an adaptive tracking direction by an adaptive tracking circuit. For each of the clock periods behind the first clock period, a previous tracking direction is replaced by a current tracking direction only when the current tracking direction exists and is different from the previous tracking direction of a previous clock period such that an actual tracking direction is generated when the adaptive tracking direction changes. The phase of the sampling clock is adjusted according to the actual tracking direction by a clock control circuit.

  • Patent number: 11876650
    Abstract: An equalizer includes a first feed-forward stage that provides a measure of low-frequency ISI and a second feed-forward stage that includes a cascade of stages each making an ISI estimate. The ISI estimate from each stage is further equalized by application of the measures of low-frequency ISI from the first feed-forward stage and fed to the next in the cascade of stages. The ISI estimates from the stages thus become progressively more accurate. The number of stages applied to a given signal can be optimized to achieve a suitably low bit-error rate. Power is saved by disabling stages which are not required to meet that goal.
