Abstract

A data receiver has a sampling unit connected to a data signal input and configured to sample a data signal amplitude and amplify the sampled data signal amplitude to a predetermined value, a sampling clock generator unit connected to the sampling unit and configured to predetermine a sampling clock for the sampling unit, an evaluation unit connected to the sampling unit and configured to determine the time duration required by the sampling unit for amplifying the sampled data signal amplitude to the predetermined value and evaluate the time duration determined, and a control unit connected to the evaluation unit and the sampling clock generator and configured to define the sampling clock on the basis of the evaluation of the time duration determined by the evaluation unit.
