A clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit includes a phase detector, a digital loop filter, and a lock detector. The phase detector generates a phase detect result signal in response to phase detection of a plurality of samples. The plurality of samples are generated by sampling a received signal based on a sampling clock a sampling clock provided by a phase interpolator. The digital loop filter includes a phase path and a frequency path for providing a phase path correction signal and a frequency path correction signal based on the phase detect result signal respectively. A phase interpolator code generator generates a phase interpolator code for controlling the phase interpolator based on the phase path correction signal and frequency path correction signal. The lock detector generates a lock condition signal based on the frequency path correction signal, the lock condition signal indicating a lock condition of the CDR circuit.
