20110267122 | ALL-DIGITAL CLOCK DATA RECOVERY DEVICE AND TRANSCEIVER IMPLEMENTED THEREOF - The present invention relates to an all-digital clock data recovery (CDR) which is implemented by a digital filter and a digitally controlled oscillator. The CDR of the present invention comprises a phase detector producing a digital sequence of data and a digital sequence of edge by sampling the serial data stream with a clock, a de-serializer transforming the digital sequences of data and edge into n-bit bus, a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) implemented by a multi-stage chain of inverters having a variable resistance switching matrix wherein the resistance of each element of the variable resistance switching matrix is varied in such a way that the supply current being fed to each inverter is controlled in pursuant to a digital control code, and thereby producing a clock whose oscillation frequency is updated and fed to the phase detector, a digital synthesis control logic circuit generating a thermometer-code-type digital control code out of the n-bit data and n-bit edge from the de-serializer wherein the thermometer-code-type digital control code is fed to the DCO, and a 2-bit direct forward path directly controlling the frequency of the clock being produced by the DCO with an operating speed which is faster than the digital synthesis control logic circuit by n times. | 11-03-2011 |
