Abstract
An analog baud rate clock and data recovery apparatus includes a first track and hold circuit that delays a received signal by one unit interval to create an odd signal; a second track and hold circuit that delays the received signal by one unit interval to create an even signal; a first comparator circuit; and a second comparator circuit. The first track and hold circuit outputs the odd signal to the first comparator circuit and the second comparator circuit. The second track and hold circuit outputs the even signal to the first comparator circuit and the second comparator circuit. The first comparator adds the odd signal to the even signal and outputs a first potential timing error. The second comparator subtracts the odd signal and the even signal and outputs a second potential timing error signal. A desired timing error signal is derived from the first and second potential timing error signals. The desired timing error signal is used to determine whether signal sampling is early or late.
