Abstract

A clock and data recovery apparatus is provided that includes a sampling circuit, a storage circuit and a determining circuit. The sampling circuit includes sampling units each sampling a received data according to one of reference clock signals to generate a sampling result. The storage circuit includes FIFO storage units configured to store the sampling result of the received data corresponding to different time spots. The determining circuit is configured to set a certain number of received data as a reference data pattern, to adjust a starting position of a sampling window according to a transition point of sampled values within the reference data pattern when only one data transition exists therein and adjust a length of the sampling window according to an amount of high state sample points of the sampled values within the reference data pattern when more than one data transitions exist therein.
