Abstract
A phase lockedcircuit comprising a phase detector for comparing an incoming serial data signal with a feedback clock signal and generating a digital phase detector output signal representing a phase difference between the incoming data signal and the feedback clock signal; a dual path filter for receiving the phase detector output signal, the dual path filter including a first path for generating a digital proportional output signal that is proportional to the phase detector output signal and a second path having an integral digital filter for generating a digital integral output signal that is proportional to an integral of the phase detector output signal; and a digitally controlled oscillator for receiving the proportional output signal and the integral output signal as tuning inputs and generating in dependence thereon an output clock signal from which the feedback clock signal is obtained. The circuit can be implemented in a receive path of a serializer/deserializer.
