Abstract
A method is provided for decoding an encoded binary data signal and generating a clock signal that is synchronous with the encoded data signal. There is generated, from the encoded data signal, an edge detection signal comprising four pulses per binary state of the encoded data signal. The encoded data signal is sampled every four pulses of the edge detection signal so as to obtain a binary signal of decoded data, and from the edge detection signal there is generated a binary clock signal that is synchronous with the encoded data signal and changes logic state every two pulses of the edge detection signal.
