Abstract
A receiver in an integrated circuit device is described. The circuit comprises a receiver having a clock and data recovery circuit coupled to receive data signals modulated with a transmitter clock signal; and a clock generator coupled to receive an output of the clock and data recovery circuit, the clock generator providing a modulated reference clock to the receiver, based upon a reference clock signal which is independent of the transmitter clock signal; wherein the modulated reference clock provided to the receiver is synchronized with the transmitter clock signal. A method of receiving data in an integrated circuit is also described.
