    Abstract: Described are phase adjustment circuits for clock and data recovery circuits (CDRs). Systems and apparatuses may include an input to receive a serial data signal, an edge data tap to sample transition edges in the serial data signal for generating a data edge detection signal, a CDR circuit including a phase detector to receive the serial data signal and the data edge detection signal, and to output a phase lead/lag signal indicating the phase difference between the serial data signal and the data edge detection signal, and a phase adjustment circuit to generate phase lead/lag adjustment data. The CDR circuit is to output a recovered clock signal based, at least in part, on the phase lead/lag signal adjusted by the phase lead/lag adjustment data.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods having a receiver unit included in a die and a measurement unit included in the die. The receiver unit includes a sampler to sample a first signal based on timing of a first clock signal to generate a second signal. The measurement unit is arranged to sample the first signal based on timing of a second clock signal to provide information for generation of a graph presenting an eye scan of the first signal. The second clock signal has a frequency asynchronous with a frequency of the first clock signal.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a clock recovery circuit to generate a cyclical signal based on data signals which are susceptible to circuit switching jitter. In an embodiment, a clock recovery circuit comprises switch circuitry which receives a first signal representing a logical combination of multiple pulsed signals (which, in turn, are each based on a different respective differential data signal). The switch circuitry provides to latch circuitry of the clock recovery circuit a second signal based on the first signal. The latch circuitry generates a cyclical signal based on the second signal, and transitions the switch circuitry between an open-circuit state and a closed-circuit state. In another embodiment, the latch circuitry implements a predetermined and configurable time period between a transition of the cyclical signal and a next subsequent logic state transition of the cyclical signal.
