    Abstract: A clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit produces an in-phase clock, a quadrature clock offset by 90 degrees from the in-phase clock, and an auxiliary clock offset from the in-phase clock by a fraction of 90 degrees. A data sampler cyclically samples a data signal to form sets of samples according to the in-phase, quadrature, and auxiliary clocks, each set comprising an in-phase sample, a quadrature sample, and an auxiliary sample. A CDR logic circuit processes the samples to form a timing word for each set.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for decoding pulse-width modulated (PWM) data are disclosed. An example decoder filters a data input signal with a one-sided pulse filter. The one-sided pulse filter suppresses short pulses on the data input signal and passes long pulses. The example decoder latch the filtered data signal at the end of each bit time of the data input signal. The duration of pulses that are suppressed by the one-sided pulse filter can be calibrated to compensate for circuit variations and to allow the decoder to operate at various data rates. The decoder can be implemented in a small integrated circuit area and can be power efficient.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a phase step size of a clock data recover (CDR) circuit are described according to aspects of the present disclosure. In certain aspects, a method for adjusting a phase step size of a CDR circuit includes sensing a frequency offset of the CDR circuit, and adjusting the phase step size of the CDR circuit based on the sensed frequency offset. The frequency offset may be sensed by sensing a signal level on an integration path of a loop filter of the CDR circuit. The phase step size of the CDR circuit may be adjusted by switching the CDR circuit between a first phase step size and a second phase step size using a modulator (e.g., a sigma-delta modulator).
