Abstract

Embodiments for clock and/or data recovery may comprise two or more samplers to sample a relatively small number of distinct data sample phase locations of a data pulse relative to an estimate of the location of a center of the data pulse. Signal level values for the sample phase locations may be compared, and sample locations for one or more other data pulses may be adjusted based at least in part on the comparisons.
