Abstract

A clock data recovery circuit including: a digital phase detector and deserializer configured to sample serial data using a recovery clock signal to generate an up phase error signal and a down phase error signal which correspond to a phase difference between the serial data and the recovery clock signal; a digital loop filter configured to generate an up fine code and a down fine code based on a result of counting the up and down phase error signals; a loop combiner configured to generate an up fine tuning code and a down fine tuning code by using the up and down phase error signals and the up and down fine codes; and a digitally controlled oscillator configured to generate the recovery clock signal having a frequency changed with the up and down fine tuning codes.
