Abstract

A clock data recovery system is provided for resampling a clock signal according to an incoming data signal stream. It comprises a clock generator for generating said clock signal wherein one of the frequency and phase of that clock signal is dependent upon a control signal. It is further provided a phase detector operable to detect the phase difference between said clock signal and said incoming data signal stream and is operable to generate a phase difference signal. A loop controller has a variable-gain and is operable to control said clock generator by generating said control signal. That control signal is dependent in said phase difference signal and that variable-gain. The variable-gain is dependent upon a transition rate of the incoming data signal stream. The loop controller can comprise a low-pass filter to generate from the phase difference signal a low-pass filered phase signal and to adjust the bandwidth of the clock data recovery system. The loop controller further can comprise a variable-gain element to amplify the filtered signal in accordance with a received bit transition rate provided by a bit transition detector and a density calculator.
