Abstract

A phase detector for a clock and data recovery circuit from random non-return-to zero (NRZ) data signal includes a plurality (e.g., preferably three) edge-triggered flip-flops. The incoming NRZ data are sampled by a pair of edge-triggered flip-flops using the transition of the clock generated by the clock recovery circuit. A third edge-triggered flip-flop processes the outputs from the edge-triggered flip-flop pair to indicate whether the generated clock leads or lags the received data.
