ABSTRACT:
A circuit for adjusting the phase of a clock signal. A first sampling circuit generates a sequence of data samples in response to transitions of the clock signal, each of the data samples having either a first state or a second state according to whether an incoming signal exceeds a first threshold. An second sampling circuit generates an error sample in response to one of the transitions of the clock signal, the error sample having either the first state or the second state according to whether the incoming signal exceeds a second threshold. A phase adjust circuit adjusts the phase of the clock signal if the sequence of data samples matches a predetermined pattern and based, at least in part, on whether the error sample has the first state or the second state.
