  • Publication number: 20240171180
    Abstract: A clock and data recovery circuit includes a sampling circuit, a phase detector, a first processing circuit, a second processing circuit and an oscillator circuit. The sampling circuit is configured to sample input data according to an output clock, and generate a sampling result. The phase detector is configured to generate a detection result according to the sampling result. The first processing circuit is configured to process the sampling result to generate a first digital code. The second processing circuit is configured to accumulate a portion of the first digital code to generate a second digital code. A rate of change of a code value of the second digital code is slower than a rate of change of a code value of the first digital code. The oscillator circuit is configured to generate the output clock according to the detection result, the first digital code and the second digital code.

  • Patent number: 11411574
    Abstract: A clock and data recovery circuit includes a phase detector (PD), a phase frequency detector (PFD), a multiplexer circuit, a conversion stage and an oscillator. The PD detects a difference in phase between a data signal and an oscillating signal to generate a first set of error signals. The PFD detects a difference in phase and frequency between a reference clock signal and the oscillating signal to generate a second set of error signals. The multiplexer circuit selectively outputs the first set of error signals or the second set of error signals as a third set of error signals according to a selection signal. The conversion stage determines a set of gains according to the selection signal, and converts the third set of error signals with the set of gains to generate a set of input signals. The oscillator generates the oscillating signal according to the set of input signals.
