Abstract
A circuit for clocking includes an input data path, a receiver, a set of flip-flops, at least one interpolator and a controller. The receiver is coupled to the input data path for receiving input data. The flip-flops, coupled to the receiver, sample the input data. A first interpolator, coupled to one or more of the flip-flops, receives the sampled input data. The controller, coupled to the first interpolator, controls the first interpolator by providing phase information regarding the input data to the first interpolator. The circuit reduces any jitter transferred from the input path to an output path.
