Abstract
A system for adjusting a phase angle of a recovered data clock signal from a received data signal includes a plurality of counters and a phase state machine. Each counter within the plurality of counters determines a number of samples having a logical one (1) value within a particular portion of a period of the received data signal. Each counter then compares the number to a predetermined threshold value. Each counter transmits a signal indicating whether the number of samples having a logical one (1) for each portion of received data signal's period is greater than, is less than, or is equal to the predetermined threshold. The phase state machine receives the signals transmitted by each counter and adjusts the phase angle of the recovered data clock signal based on the signals received from each counter.
