Abstract
The present invention relates to a detector arrangement and a charge pump circuit for a recovery circuit recovering timing information for random data. The detector arrangement comprises a first latch circuit for sampling a quadrature component of a reference signal based on an input signal, to generate a first binary signal, a second latch circuit for sampling an in-phase component of the reference signal based on the input signal, to generate a second binary signal, and a third latch circuit for sampling the first binary signal based on the second binary signal, to generate a frequency error signal. Furthermore, the charge pump circuit comprises a differential input circuit and a control circuit for controlling a tail current of the differential input circuit in response to a frequency-locked state of frequency detector arrangement.
