Abstract
A clock and data recovery apparatus which includes a voltage controlled delay line (VCDL), a phase detector (PD) and a control voltage generating circuit is provided. The VCDL generates a plurality of clock signals with different phases according to a reference clock signal and a control voltage. The PD detects the phase relationship between a first input signal and a second input signal, and produces a detection result. A data signal or one of the clock signals is used as the first input signal, and one or more of the clock signals is/are used as the second input signal. The control voltage generating circuit generates the control voltage to the VCDL according to the detection result of the PD.
