  • Patent number: 8019022
    Abstract: An embodiment of a clock and data recovery circuit comprising a first clock and data recovery circuit with high bandwidth and a second clock and data recovery circuit with low bandwidth is disclosed. The first clock and data recovery circuit with high bandwidth receives a data signal and a reference signal to demux the data signal into a first signal and a second signal, wherein a second data rate X bps of the first signal and the second signal is half of a first data rate of the data signal. The second clock and data recovery circuit with low bandwidth receives and reduces jitter in the first signal and the second signal to output a first recovery signal and a second recovery signal.

  • Publication number: 20110068764
    Abstract: Semiconductor circuit capable of mitigating unwanted effects caused by variations in a received input signal are provided, in which a main circuit receives an input signal and comprises a first current source coupled between a first node and a first power voltage to generate a first current according to a first bias voltage. A replica circuit is coupled to the main circuit to duplicate a variation in a voltage at the first node caused by a variation in the input signal and dynamically adjusts the first bias voltage according to the duplicated variation such that the first current is maintained at a constant.

  • Publication number: 20080260087
    Abstract: A clock and data recovery circuit is disclosed and comprises a first gated voltage-controlled oscillator, a PLL unit, a phase-controlled frequency divider, a multiplexer, a matching circuit and a double-edge-triggered D flip-flop. The first GVCO receives a data signal and a reference voltage to generate a first clock signal and a second clock signal based on the data signal. The PLL unit receives a reference clock signal and generates the reference voltage to adjust the frequency of the first clock signal and the second clock signal at the vicinity of the predetermined frequency. The phase-controlled frequency divider receives and divides the first clock signal by N to output a third clock signal. The multiplexer controlled by a selection signal receives and outputs the second clock signal or the third clock signal. The matching circuit receives the data signal and the selection signal to match the delays therebetween.
