CDR (Clock and Data Recovery) ecosystem component

The CDR is a an analog ecosystem component that implements in a high speed serial data input interface. The CDR extracts clock information from the serial data stream and retimes the data. Combined with deserializers & serializers it provides high speed memory I/O access of several Gbps. In first designs the CDR applies NRZ coding validated in 22FDX and IHP 130nm technology. Later designs will be optimize for PAM4 encodings.
