Abstract

Techniques that may aid in the recovery of clock and data signals include receiving a stream of incoming data signals and determining an offset based, at least in part, on the state of a transition bit sampled from the stream of incoming data signals. The slice level of an input sampling circuit is adjusted based on the offset. Re-timed data signals corresponding to the incoming data signals may be generated.
