ABSTRACT:
A linear, half-rate clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for recovering clock information embedded in a received data signal. The half-rate CDR circuit comprises a phase detector that may receive the data signal and generate a phase error signal representative of the phase difference between the received data signal and a clock signal produced by a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) of the CDR circuit. The half-rate CDR typically changes the frequency of the clock signal and generates a clock signal that is aligned with the baud center of the received data signal. More specifically, when the half-rate CDR circuit is in a locked condition, both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal are aligned with the baud center of the received data signal. The half-rate CDR preferably generates a clock signal with an average frequency that is half the data rate of a received data signal.
