Summary: | A system for generating a local clock, configurable to utilize a forwarded clock and a data stream, or a data stream only, as frequency and phase references. In one embodiment, the system includes a phase locked loop that may be referenced to a forwarded clock, or to a phase reference formed from received data, utilizing a sampler, a crossing sampler, and a bang-bang phase detector. The system includes a local phase recovery loop which may utilize the bang-bang phase detector as part of a phase detector for controlling a phase interpolator, the output of the phase interpolator serving as the local clock for clocking received data. |
