Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods for improving timing recovery of a system clock by causing its frequency to be within a specified tolerance range during a timing recovery acquisition period for the system clock. The apparatus includes a voltage controlled oscillator for producing the system clock and a non-volatile memory containing an offset value. The non-volatile memory provides an offset value (representing an offset voltage value) which assures that the voltage controlled oscillator receives a voltage value which causes the frequency of the system clock to be within a specified tolerance range. The apparatus may also include a write control unit for determining and updating the offset value for a next timing recovery acquisition period. The methods include steps for performing these operations.
