Abstract

The invention provides a frequency discriminator, a PAM4 clock data frequency locking method, a PAM4 clock data frequency recovery method and a PAM4 clock data frequency locking circuit. The method comprises the following steps: respectively sampling data and edges of an input signal by adopting a data and edge sampling clock; Obtaining a logic result of the speed of the sampling clock according to the sampling data of at least two adjacent clock periods and the sampling edge between the two sampling data; Determining the frequency of the sampling clock relative to the input signal based on the logic results of at least three adjacent clock periods, and enabling the frequency of the sampling clock to be equal to that of the input signal; based on the Bang-Bang logics, adjusting the phase of the sampling clock, so that the sampling edge of the sampling clock is respectively positioned in the data of the input signal and the middle area of the edge. The non-reference clock frequency locking and phase locking technology is adopted, so that the frequency and the phase can be accurately locked; The requirement for the frequency difference between the starting frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator and an input signal is low, the clock data recovery function of the large-range input data rate can be supported, the application range is wide, and the stability is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a frequency discriminator, a PAM4 clock data frequency locking method, a recovery method and a circuit. Background technique [0002] Clock data recovery, as the core function that high-speed serial communication must have, has been more and more widely used. Clock data recovery is to extract the clock signal from the data signal according to the reference clock. Correspondingly, only serial data is transmitted on the channel without a clock signal, and the data receiving end receives the serial data and performs clock recovery. Obviously, being able to accurately recover the clock signal from the data is the key to this technology. [0003] In the prior art, a PAM4 clock data recovery circuit without a reference clock is proposed. When the difference between the initial frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator and the frequency of the input data signal exceeds th...
