Abstract

A method, in an oversampling clock and data recovery system, for detecting that sampling is stuck taking place at a data edge, by detecting a data edge in an early or a late region relative to a good region and incrementing a stuck early or stuck late counter; and if one counter reaching a maximum, setting a condition indicating that sampling is stuck taking place at a data edge. If a data edge is detected in the good region, or in each of an early and a late region in a single data period, the stuck counters are reset to zero. The detection of which stuck counter has reached a maximum can cause the moving of a sampling clock forward or backward, ending when a data edge occurs in a good region, or in each of an early region and a late region in a single data period.
