Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a data sampler and a digital logic circuit. The data sampler provides multiple signal samples at a speed twice a symbol rate according to a local clock signal and the inverted local clock signal. The signal samples include a first symbol sample, and a second symbol sample that occurs later than the first symbol sample. The signal samples further include an interpolated sample between the first and second symbol samples. The digital logic circuit compares the first symbol sample with the interpolated sample to generate pre phase correction data, and compares the second symbol sample with the interpolated sample to generate post phase correction data. The pre phase correction data is generated earlier than the post phase correction data. The local clock signal and the inverted local clock signal have substantially a phase difference of 180 degrees.
