Abstract
In some embodiments, a phase detector receives a set of sampling clock signals and a data signal and compares each of the clock signals to the data signal. A clock selector selects an optimal sampling clock signal from the set of sampling clock signals based on a trend of a relationship between the clock signals and the data signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
