A combined clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit with adaptive cancellation of data-dependent jitter (DDJ) is constructed in all-digital architecture which is amenable to deep submicron technology. The DDJ canceller uses an adaptive FIR filter to compen-sate for any unknown channel characteristic. The proposed CDR decreases jitter in the recovered clock since the DDJ canceller significantly cancels out incoming jitter caused by inter-symbol interference.
