Receiver having clock recovery unit based on delay locked loop

摘要

A receiver for receiving an input signal (a clock-embedded data (CED) signal), in which a clock signal is periodically embedded between data signals, includes a clock recovery unit configured to recover and output the clock signal and a serial-to-parallel converter configured to recover and output a data signal. The input signal (the CED signal) comprises a single level signal in which the clock signal is periodically embedded between the data signals at the same level. The clock recovery unit is configured based on a delay locked loop (DLL) without using an internal oscillator for generating a reference clock signal.
