IMPROVED CLOCK RECOVERY OF SERIAL DATA SIGNAL

摘要

A method and a receiver for recovering clock timing information from a serial data signal by determining data symbol transition times. The method comprises determining data symbol transition times of the serial data according to a first determination scheme,and further data symbol transition times of the serial data according to a second determination scheme. The transition times are then combined by a voting process, wherein the first determination scheme votes for the transition times that it determined, and wherein the second determination scheme votes for the transition times that it determined. The actual transition times are then determined as being the times that have the most votes.
