Two 0.9pm CMOS chips serve for burst-mode clock and data recovery applications specific to passive optical network (POI9 systems. In each case, a core, first order clock recovery circuit is realized by two gated ring oscillators (GVCOs), indirectly frequency-tuned by a phase-locked loop using a third replica oscillator and a local reference signal, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 [1,21. Instantaneous phaselockingisguaranteedbyrestartingthegated oscillators every time input data transitions occur. As discussed in Reference [21, this method has been demonstrated to be precise
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
