Abstract
A clock recovery circuit includes: a phase comparison circuit to compare a data signal and a recovered clock; a charge pump circuit to output a current based on a phase difference signal; a loop filter to convert the current into a control voltage; an oscillation circuit to generate a first sine-wave clock having a frequency corresponding to the control voltage and a second sine-wave clock having a phase obtained by shifting a phase of the first sine-wave clock by 90 degrees; and a clock selector to select, as the recovered clock, the first sine-wave clock or the second sine-wave clock, a selected clock having a voltage difference between a voltage at a transition of the data signal and a center of an amplitude is larger than a voltage difference between a voltage of a non-selected clock at the time and a center of an amplitude of the non-selected clock.
