High-energy-efficiency low-jitter single loop clock data recovery circuit

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-energy-efficiency low-jitter single loop clock data recovery circuit. The circuit comprises an 1/N rate Bang-Bang phase discriminator with a 1:N demultiplexer function, a voltage-current converter, a loop filter and a multi-phase clock generator. An orthogonal clock signal generated by an orthogonal voltage control oscillator in the multi-phase clock generator is synthesized into a needed (N+2) phase recovery clock signal through a cascaded digital phase interpolator. And then the 1/N rate Bang-Bang phase discriminator receives input data and a phase clock signal, detects a phase relationship between the two to generate a lead/lag voltage signal and recovers N paths of parallel 1/N rate data signals. Then, the lead/lag voltage signal is converted into a current signal through the voltage-current converter. A current passes through loop filter filtering and then controls an output clock frequency and a phase relationship of the multi-phase clock generator so as to reduce a frequency deviation so that phase locking of a clock data recovery loop is reached. Jitter performance of the clock data recovery loop is effectively improved.
