Embodiments include systems and methods for increasing frequency offset tracking in clock data recovery (CDR) systems. For example, in asynchronous clocking environments, the receiver-side clock frequency can be offset from the transmitter-side clock. While traditional CDR systems can handle some amount of offset, they are typically ineffective at accurately adapting the receiver-side clocking to an optimal data sampling rate when the offset is excessive. Embodiments include a CDR frequency offset adaptation loop that generates an adaptation signal, which can be monitored to detect an adaptation error arising from excessive frequency offset. In response to the detecting, an offset seed can be selected and injected into the frequency offset adaptation loop, thereby reinitializing the frequency offset adaptation loop with a less stressful seed.
