What is main difference between CDR and PLL?

what is main different between CDR and PLL?

pll+cdr

Some digital data streams, especially high-speed serial data streams, (such as the raw stream of data from the magnetic head of a disk drive) are sent without an accompanying clock. The receiver generates a clock from an approximate frequency reference, and then phase-aligns to the transitions in the data stream with a phase-locked loop (PLL). This process is commonly known as clock and data recovery (CDR).

CRD and PLL

the CDR is extracting the clock from random input data while the pll works on a certain frerence clock.

Re: CRD and PLL

then how to congfigure PLL to function as CDR?

CRD and PLL

u cannot , a special PD must be used as it alligins the phase and not like PFD which lock to the frequency

PD used for CDR are as alexander and hogg , refer to razavi's optical communication book for more details

Re: CRD and PLL

between CDR and pll , the different thing is PD scheme , generally

the pfd using in pll always cant use in CDR for pll

because of the data patten , hogge and alexader detect the rising and falling

this meaning is very important and differentation between pll and CDR

if u want to , find the opital book written by RAZAVI

Can u explain to me how clock can be extracted random data bit stream?
Is it need sample and hold circuit? Or is it depend on the filter ?

CDR and PLL

hello,
for CDR there r some diffrent architectures of PD that can allign the phase of the clock to the ideal sampling point which is the half period point , each of the phase detector have its own theory of operatio there r many types like linear and Binary (bang-bang), u should refer to ch.2 and ch.9 in Razavi's optical communicaion it has good explaination of the theory of PD .

sample and hold can be used to extract the clock.

i dont think the filter has to do with the type of PD , as each of the PD's will be followed by GM-cell or CP to convert Voltage to current and hence the simple series R and C filter is used.
