  • Low power apparatus and algorithm for sub-rate bit acquisition and synchronization of high speed clockless data streams
    Patent number: 6765973
    Abstract: A clockless synchronizer (200) is used for sub-rate bit acquisition and synchronization of high speed clockless data streams. Clockless synchronizer (200) comprises burst detector (210), multi-phase signal generator (220), multi-phase signal router (230), multi-phase signal sampler (240), clock generator (250), correlation control circuit (260), and output data selector (270). Clockless synchronizer (200) is fabricated on a single ASIC, and it is free from the ‘data rate less than the available clock’ limitation.
