Abstract
A receiver circuit that limits the frequency of a clock signal used in a computer system is disclosed. An embodiment of the receiver circuit includes a front-end circuit that generates an equalized signal, a clock generator circuit that generates a clock signal using a plurality of samples of the equalized signal, and a measurement circuit. The measurement circuit monitors a frequency of the clock signal and generates an indication signal in response to determining that the frequency of the clock signal exceeds a threshold frequency. The clock generator circuit uses the indication signal to adjust a frequency of the clock signal.
