Abstract: Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of a clock recovery apparatus for recovering clock signals of multiple data channels. In one exemplary embodiment a clock recovery apparatus for a plurality of data channels may include a plurality of channel blocks, where each channel block may include a frequency detection block configured to generate an intermediate signal based on a respective data signal received from a respective data channel and a global signal, and a recovery block configured to recover a clock signal for the respective data channel in response to the respective data signal and the global signal. The apparatus may also include a global signal generation block configured to receive and combine the intermediate signals from the plurality of channel blocks to generate the global signal.
