NRZ and NRZI
encoding
With NRZ and NRZI encoding, all transitions occur on bit-cell boundaries and the data
should be sampled in the middle of the bit cell.
If a transition occurs after the expected bit-cell boundary, but before the
midpoint, the DPLL needs to lengthen the count to line up the bit-cell
boundaries; this corresponds to the “add one” and “add two” regions of the
figure.
If a transition occurs before the bit-cell boundary, but after the midpoint, the
DPLL needs to shorten the count to line up the bit-cell boundaries; this
corresponds to the “subtract one” and “subtract two” regions shown in the
figure.
The DPLL makes no adjustment if the bit-cell boundaries are lined up within
one count of the divide-by-sixteen counter. The regions that adjust the count
by two allow the DPLL to synchronize faster to the data stream when starting
up.
Biphase-Level
encoding
With biphase-level encoding, there is a guaranteed “clock” transition at the center of
every bit-cell and optional “data” transitions at the bit-cell boundaries. The DPLL
