A circuit is provided for clock recovery. The circuit includes a reference extraction unit for extracting from a datastream time references defining a reference time base, and a digital Phase Locked Loop including a first programmable counter in the guise of a digitally controlled oscillator for overseeing an output time base, a second programmable counter in the guise of a loop divider for overseeing a loop time base, and a dedicated processor capable of executing a program including a first software module in the guise of a phase comparator for comparing values of the loop and reference time bases and generating a loop error, and a second software module in the guise of a loop filter for producing an adaptation value of an increment value of the first programmable counter from the loop error. Also provided are a user terminal and a method for clock recovery.
