Patent 10277230 was granted and assigned to Apple (company) on April, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Techniques are disclosed relating to clock and data recovery circuitry. In some embodiments, a slicing circuit may be configured to sample an input signal to generate a first and second sampled data signal. In some embodiments, a phase detector circuit may be configured to compare the phases of the first and second sampled data signals. In some embodiments, a first charge pump may be configured to supply a first current to a circuit node, and a second charge pump may be configured to supply a second current to the circuit node. In some embodiments, a voltage-controlled oscillator may be configured to adjust a frequency of first and second clock signals based on a voltage of the circuit node.
