Abstract: A differential switched-current line-driver implements a method to reduce power consumption by eliminating output current that does not contribute to the required differential output signal. This output current is used for example during a training phase, and the current elimination can take place after the training phase is complete.

Abstract: There is a clock recovery circuit to correct the timing relationship between a data signal and clock signal. The clock recovery circuit comprises a phase detector having an input for receiving a clock signal having a period, an input for receiving a data signal, and an input for receiving a window signal. The window signal has a period equal to the period of the clock signal and phase difference of ?90° with respect to the clock signal. The phase detector generates an up output and a down output while maintaining a phase relationship of the up output and the down output in response to the phase relationship between the clock signal and the data signal.

Abstract: There is a clock recovery circuit to correct the timing relationship between a data signal and clock signal. The clock recovery circuit comprises a phase detector having an input for receiving a clock signal having a period, an input for receiving a data signal, and an input for receiving a window signal. The window signal has a period equal to the period of the clock signal and phase difference of −90° with respect to the clock signal. The phase detector generates an up output and a down output while maintaining a phase relationship of the up output and the down output in response to the phase relationship between the clock signal and the data signal.
