Abstract
A clock recovery system includes a source of a data signal having transitions, an injection-locked oscillator having a free-running frequency and generating a clock signal, and a free-running frequency adjustment circuit. The free running frequency adjustment circuit includes a transition density detector for detecting the density of the transitions in the data signal; a phase error detector for detecting the phase error between the clock signal and the data signal; and a correlator for adjusting the free-running frequency of the injection locked oscillator in response to the correlation between the detected transition density in the data signal and the phase error between the data signal and the local oscillator.
