Compensating jitter in differential data signals

A method for compensating jitter in received differential data signals includes recovering a first clock signal from the received differential data signals. Re-timed differential data signals are generated based on the received differential data signals and the first clock signal. A level of jitter in the re-timed differential data signals is detected. A second clock signal is recovered from the re-timed differential data signals. Jitter-compensated differential data signals are generated based on the re-timed differential data signals, the second clock signal, and the detected level of jitter.
