Adaptive Clock Recovery Method Utilizing Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control for Circuit Emulation

Abstract

This paper describes a novel adaptive clock recovery method that uses proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. The adaptive clock method is a clock recovery technique that synchronizes connected terminals via packet networks, and will be indispensable for circuit emulation services in the next generation Ethernet. Our adaptive clock method simultaneously achieves a short starting-time, accuracy, stable recovery clock frequency, and few buffer delays using the PID control technique. We explain the numerical simulations, experimental results, and circuit designs.
