Zusammenfassung:A reference-less frequency detector circuit includes a sampling circuit that is configured to generate a frequency control voltage and a switch circuit control signal based on a frequency difference between a clock signal frequency and an input data rate. The frequency control voltage has a frequency down indication and a frequency up indication. A voltage-to-current converter circuit is coupled to the sampling circuit and is configured to convert the frequency control voltage to a frequency control current based on the switch circuit control signal. The voltage-to-current converter circuit includes an output switch circuit controlled by the switch control signal and is configured to have substantially equal respective latencies for the frequency down indication and the frequency up indication.
