Clock and data recovery (CDR) circuits and resettable voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the CDR circuit includes a sampler configured to receive a data stream in a data path and sample the data stream. However, a clock signal of the data stream needs to be recovered to sample the data stream since the data stream may not be accompanied by the clock signal. To recover the clock signal from the data stream, the CDR circuit may have a resettable VCO configured to generate a clock output. The sampler and the resettable VCO may be operably associated so that the sampler samples the data stream in the data path based on the clock output. The resettable VCO can be reset to adjust a clock phase of the clock output and help reduce sampling errors resulting from drift of the clock output and/or the data stream.
