High speed non-return-to-zero digital clock recovery apparatus

摘要

A digital clock recovery circuit is presented which uses a delay line to produce a plurality of delayed sample signals. The sample signals are used to sample incoming data in a phase detector and the resultant sampled data is then resampled by the tentatively correct apparatus clock output signal. The resampled data provides a direct indication of the phase difference beween the data and the clock and the value can be obtained using a summing circuit. If the summed amount is outside an allowable range of values, a phase altering signal is supplied to an oscillator to change the phase of the apparatus clock output signal.
