ABSTRACT:
A half-rate linear phase detector is particularly well-suited to clock data recovery in a serial data interface. The phase detector uses a quadrature clock to process different portions of the incoming data with different phases of the clock. The resulting component signals can be combined to provide the expected UP and DOWN phase detector output control signals. The phase detector output signals are balanced and of uniform width, minimizing oscillator control signal ripple in the clock data recovery circuit, while the linearity of the phase detector makes its output predictable.
