Abstract
A first transceiver is configured to transmit a first data signal to a second transceiver across a communication link. The second transceiver maintains clock data recovery (CDR) lock with the first signal by adjusting a sampling clock configured to sample the first data signal. When the communication link reverses directions, the second transceiver is configured to transmit a second data signal to the first transceiver with the phase of that second data signal adjusted based on the adjustments made to the sampling clock.
