Abstract

A clock and data recovery device includes an equalizer that compensates for channel loss of input data, a phase detector that compares data output from the equalizer and a fed back clock and outputs an up signal and a down signal, a charge pump that operates according to the up signal and the down signal to output a control signal, a loop filter that removes a high-frequency component included in the control signal output from the charge pump, a voltage-controlled oscillator that changes a frequency of the clock and outputs the clock according to the control signal from which the high-frequency component is removed, and a voltage-controlled oscillator buffer that adjusts a slew rate of the clock output by the voltage-controlled oscillator according to the up signal and the down signal directly received from the phase detector and transmits the clock to the phase detector.
