CLOCK RECOVERY BASED ON DIGITAL SIGNALS
A clock recovery circuit includes a first pulse circuit, a second pulse circuit, a state change circuit connected to the first pulse circuit and the second pulse circuit and a first delay circuit connected to the state change circuit and each of the first pulse circuit and the second pulse circuit. The first pulse circuit receives data inputs to generate a first pulse signal. The second pulse circuit receives the data inputs to generate a second pulse signal. The state change circuit receives the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal and generate a first clock signal for a first transition of one of the data inputs in a first unit interval (UI). The first delay circuit receives the generated first clock signal and mask other transitions of the data inputs in the first UI.
