A delay-locked loop (DLL) and a method of performing clock and data recovery. In one embodiment, the DLL includes: (1) a phase detector that generates a phase difference signal based on a phase comparison between a data signal and a mixer output signal of the DLL and (2) a quadrant controller, coupled to the phase detector, that generates first and second voltage control signals based on the phase difference signal and first and second voltage control signals of the DLL.
