ABSTRACT:
A data receiver system. The system includes a clock generator configured to output a reference clock and circuitry configured to measure a direction of a phase difference between an input data stream and the reference clock. The circuitry is further configured to increment a counter if the phase difference is in a first direction, decrement the counter if the phase difference is in a direction opposite to the first direction, and convey a phase correction signal to the clock generator if an output value of the counter meets or exceeds a threshold. The clock generator is configured to adjust the phase of the reference clock in response to receiving the phase correction signal.
