<p>The receiver comprises a circuit for clock recovery (CR), which includes a pulse generator (40) comprising two current sources (23a,23b) for delivering digital signals in phase opposition pulsed at the frequency of received fronts, and an injection oscillator (50) incorporated in a monolithic integrated circuit comprising two branches each with a field-effect transistor (34a,34b) displaying a negative resistance, where the transistors are coupled in a differential configuration. The proper frequency (fos) of the injection oscillator (50) corresponds substantially to the nominal frequency (fn), and the pulse width of digital signals delivered by the pulse generator (40) is about equal to or less than the period corresponding to the proper frequency of the injection oscillator (50). The pulse generator (40) comprises a NOT gate, that is an inverter (21), a NOR gate (22), and two parallel branches each with a current source (23a,23b) for delivering the signals in phase opposition of the same amplitude and frequency. The injection oscillator (50) comprises a voltage source (31) connected to a positive supply (Vcc), a current source (35) connected to a low voltage, in particular 0 V or the ground, two parallel branches (38a,38b) each comprising an inductor (32a,32b) in series with a transistor (34a,34b), for example of type n-MOS, and two identical capacitors (33a,33b) connected mutually in series and in parallel between the nodes (39a,39b) with respect to the branches (38a,38b). The nodes (39a,39b) are the input/output points of the circuit delivering the pair of clock signals (Clock,/Clock) in phase opposition. The receiver also comprises a decision circuit receiving the recovered clock signal and the received signal, which comprises a number of at least 3 bistables/flip-flops of type D which provide data shifted according to different durations with respect to the pulses of the recovered clock signal, but normally included in the period of the nominal frequency. An Independent claim is included for a device for transmitting digital data on a serial link implementing the above method.</p> |
