Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first input stream, generating a first clock, sampling the first input stream based on the first clock, detecting a first phase difference between the first input stream and the first clock to generate a clock-correction signal and a first select signal, and generating a first recovered stream based on the first select signal. The method may additionally include receiving a second input stream, generating a second clock, sampling the second input stream based on the second clock, detecting a second phase difference between the second input stream and the second clock to generate a clock-correction signal and a second select signal, and generating a second recovered stream based on the second select signal. The method may further include adjusting the clocks based on the first and second clock-correction signals and combining the first and second recovered data streams to generate an output.
