Abstract
A system and method for a frequency detector circuit includes: a transition detector configured to receive a data input and provide a first edge output based on transitions in the data input; a first circuit configured to generate a second edge output; a second circuit configured to generate a third edge output; and a combinational logic configured to output an UP output when at least two of the first edge output, the second edge output, and the third edge output are high and configured to output a DOWN output when the first edge output, the second edge output, and the third edge output are all low.
