Abstract
A multiplying phase detector includes a 1multiplier, a 2multiplier and a phase error generation module. The 1multiplier is operably coupled to multiple an incoming data stream, which is a random data pattern, with a 1clock, which is in-phase with the incoming stream of data and is one-half the rate of the incoming stream of data, to produce a 1product. In this instance, the 1product represents missing transitions in the incoming stream of data. The 2multiplier is operably coupled to multiply the 1product with the incoming data stream to produce a modified stream of data. The phase error generation module is operably coupled to generate a phase error based on the modified stream of data and a 2clock, where the phase error represents a phase offset between the modified stream of data and the 2clock.
