Clock and Data Recovery is a technique used in the transfer of data from one node of a network to an adjacent one.

The transmission media is generally a structure that guides an electric wave from one end to the other with little attenuation and distortion.

As only a single wave can go through, the data (electric pulses) cannot be transmitted separated from a "container" that allows to distinguish them at the end of the trip.

The container is a periodic signal (= clock) that is mixed with the data before transmission.

The technique to separate clock and data at the reception is a special one that requires special circuits and know-how.

Clock and Data Recovery circuits are generally based on a phase-locked loop.

Therefore this category largely overlaps with "Phase-locked loops", although each retains some specificities of its own.
