    Abstract: Clock generation circuitry includes quadrature locked loop circuitry having first injection locked oscillator circuitry, second injection locked oscillator circuitry, and XOR circuitry. The first injection locked oscillator circuitry receives a first input signal and a second input signal and outputs first clock signals. The first input signal and the second input signal correspond to a reference clock signal. The second injection locked oscillator circuitry is coupled to outputs of the first injection locked oscillator circuitry, and receives the first clock signals and generates second clock signals. The XOR circuitry receives the second clock signals and generates a first clock signal, a second clock signal, a third clock signal, and a fourth clock signal. The frequencies of the first clock signal, the second clock signal, the third clock signal, and the fourth clock signal are greater than the frequency of the reference clock signal.

    Abstract: Some examples described herein provide an integrated circuit comprising an auxiliary clock and data recovery (CDR) circuitry. The CDR circuitry is configured to oversample an incoming data signal and generate a locked clock signal. The auxiliary CDR circuitry may comprise a phase-locked loop (PLL) configured to receive the incoming data signal and generate the locked clock signal. The PLL may comprise a phase detector (PD) configured to receive the incoming data signal and capture a number of samples of the incoming data signal in response to a number of adjacent clock signals and minimum data transition thresholds implemented by an intersymbol interference (ISI) filter, the minimum data transition thresholds identifying minimum data transitions in the incoming data signal.

    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a temperature-locked loop for optical elements. In an example, a device includes a controller and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The controller includes a DC-controllable transimpedance stage (DCTS), a slicer circuit, and a processor. The DCTS is configured to be coupled to a photodiode. An input node of the slicer circuit is coupled to an output node of the DCTS. The processor has an input node coupled to an output node of the slicer circuit. The DAC has an input node coupled to an output node of the processor and is configured to be coupled to a heater. The processor is configured to control (i) the DCTS to reduce a DC component of a signal on the output node of the DCTS and (ii) an output voltage on the output node of the DAC, both based on a signal output by the slicer circuit.
