Abstract
The invention provides a receiver comprising a data input and a strobe input. The strobe signal transitions whenever two consecutive bits in the data signal are the same. The receiver comprises combining means for generating a recovered clock signal from a combination of the data and strobe signals. The receiver also comprises a first sampling stage arranged to sample the data signal in dependence on the recovered clock signal, the first sampling stage comprising a plurality of sampling circuits and being arranged to obtain consecutive samples of the data signal using alternating ones of the sampling circuits. A second sampling stage is arranged to sample the data from the first sampling stage in dependence on a local system clock signal.
