Clock Recovery
Loop Filter and a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The phase detector compares the phase information of
the incoming data with the recovered clock. The frequency detector compares the frequency component of the
data input with the recovered clock to provide the pull in energy during lock acquisition. The Loop Filter inte-
grates the phase information from the phase and frequency detectors and provides the control voltage to the
VCO.
Jitter Tolerance
stream. The Bellcore and ITU specifications allow the received optical data to contain jitter. The amount that
must be tolerated is a function of the frequency of the jitter. At high frequencies the specifications do not require
the CRU to tolerate large amounts, whereas at low frequencies many unit intervals (bit times) of jitter have to be
tolerated. The CRU is designed to tolerate this jitter with margin over the specification limits, see Figure 7. The
CRU obtains and maintains lock based on the data transition information. When there is no transition on the
data stream, the recovered clock frequency can drift. The VSC8117 can maintain lock over 100 bits of no
switching on the data stream.
The fully monolithic Clock Recovery Unit (CRU) consists of a Phase Detector, a Frequency Detector, a
Jitter Tolerance is the ability of the Clock Recovery Unit to track timing variation in the received data
