TECHNIQUES FOR VARYING A PERIODIC SIGNAL BASED ON CHANGES IN A DATA RATE

摘要

A circuit includes a phase detection circuit, a phase adjustment circuit, and a sampler circuit. The phase detection circuit compares a phase of a first periodic signal to a phase of a second periodic signal to generate a control signal. The phase adjustment circuit causes the phase of the second periodic signal and a phase of a third periodic signal to vary based on a variation in the control signal. The sampler circuit samples a data signal to generate a sampled data signal in response to the third periodic signal. The circuit varies a frequency of the third periodic signal to correspond to changes in a data rate of the data signal between at least three different data rates that are based on at least three data transmission protocols.
