  • Patent number: 10141970
    Abstract: A transceiver circuit with a front-end and a back-end is provided. The front-end has terminals for coupling to a first and a second capacitor and tunable resistors coupled between the terminals and a reference terminal. The front-end is configured to receive receiver signals at the terminals utilizing a first setting for the resistors. The front-end is configured to generate a receiver data packet based on the receiver signals. The back-end is configured to check the receiver data packet for errors with respect to a defined tuning data packet. If an error is found, the back-end sets the resistors to a default setting. If no errors are found, the back-end sets the resistors to a second setting.

  • Patent number: 10116433
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for clock and data recovery comprises a control unit, a phase-locked loop circuit and a sampling unit. The control unit is configured to derive a first reference signal and a second reference signal from an input signal. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to derive a common reference signal from one of the first reference signal and the second reference signal, selected depending on a mode of operation of the circuit arrangement. The phase-locked loop circuit is configured to generate an oscillator signal based on the common reference signal. The sampling unit is configured to extract a recovered data signal from the input signal.
