Abstract – In the recent communication system of
electronic industry will focusing on high speed signal
processing application, with be assistance of optical to
electrical data communications, multiplexing technique of
TDMA, CDMA, OFDMA. Here this communication will
required a high priority to recover clock and reduced

demodulation. Here this work will present a technique of
Half-Rate (HR), Bang-Bang (BB), Phase Detector(PD)
based multiple decision of clock and data recovery about
the sign and magnitude of the phase shift between the PD
inputs. Here, this proposed architecture will introduced a
GDI (Gate Diffusion Input) technique and reduced the

1. INTRODUCTION
Clock and data recovery (CDR) is a key function in many
serial communication systems, from optical to electrical
communications, but especially for high-speed signaling.
The performance of the clock recovery is crucial for the
reliability of the communication system, especially
important to perform synchronous operations such as the
retiming and demodulation of the input data. Jitter in the
clock, defined as the uncertainty in the edge placement in
the clock waveform, results in distortion of the data
signals waveforms. This jitter translates in oscillator
phase deviation from ideal, which results in phase noise.
Although other systems such as delay-locked loops or
phase interpolator-based CDR are used in some cases,
phase locked loops (PLLs) are the most widespread
systems to implement a reference-less CDR. It is
composed of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), which
generates the required clock, a phase detector (PD),
which compares the phase of the generated clock to that
of the randomized input data, and a charge pump (CP),
which charges or discharges a loop filter (LF) to generate
the required control signal for the VCO. The PD is one of
the critical blocks of the CDR as it determines the phase
error between the input data and the clock, which
conditions the control voltage for the VCO, and therefore
the correct agreement between the clock and data edges.
Although a linear PD is sometimes used in a binary or
bangbang (BB) PD is usually preferred in high-speed
CDRs due to its simplicity, good phase adjustment, high-
speed operation, and low power. The BBPD provides a
binary output, which gives information about the sign of
the phase shift between its inputs, i.e., if the clock is
lagging or leading the input data The Alexander PD or
variations of it, such as the inverse Alexander PD where
the outputs (Early and Late) are inverted (Late and Early)
are the most commonly used PD in highspeed designs.
Other topologies have been presented but their
complexity is increased. All these Alexander-based PDs
work at a full-rate clock frequency; which means that the
frequency of oscillation of the VCO is the same as the data
rate of the input data. At high speed, a half-rate PD (HR-
PD) is very useful to reduce the requirements of the VCO
and increase the throughput of the system. CDRs
implemented with an HR-PD sense the input data at full
rate but use a VCO running at half the input rate. This
technique also relaxes the speed requirement of the PD.
In this brief, we propose a new multilevel HR BB PD (ML-
HR-BBPD). Thanks to the ML operation that provides
information about the sign and the magnitude of the
phase difference between the PD inputs, the bit error rate
(BER) performance of the output data as well as the jitter
of the clock generated with a PLL-based CDR is improved
compared to the conventional two-levels HR-PD.
Although ML-BBPD have been already proposed in some
PLL-based CDR with very interesting results, to our best
knowledge, they have never been proposed for an HR
system. The main objective of this brief is, therefore, to
