TLDR
In this paper, a cycle slippage condition exists when phase comparisons of the signals indicate the clock output is passing from a phase lag error to a phase lead error without passing through a region of no phase error.
Abstract
Clocking signals are recovered from an incoming signal train by a master clock oscillator phase locked to the incoming signals, and, in the event of a failure or malfunction involving the master clock, by a standby clock similarly phase locked to the incoming signals. One of the malfunctions occurs when the phase of the clock output slips a cycle with respect to the phase of the signal train. It is determined that a cycle slippage condition exists when phase comparisons of the signals indicate the clock output is passing from a phase lag error to a phase lead error, or vice versa, without passing through a region of no phase error.

Timing recovery circuit for digital data

TL;DR: In this article, a timing recovery circuit receives a timing component signal and generates a signal having a frequency varying in response to a control signal, which is combined into the control signal that adjusts the frequency of the generated signal into synchronization with the timing component.

Frequency and phase comparator with slip detection capability

TL;DR: In this paper, a frequency and phase comparator circuit for determining the frequency difference between a reference signal of a known frequency and a variable signal of unknown frequency was proposed. But the phase shifts indicate that at some point in time during transmission, the two signals were out of phase and not of exact frequency.

Frequency generator with a controlled limit on frequency deviation from a synchronizing frequency

TL;DR: In this article, a digital counter driven by a stable high frequency source generates a periodic signal synchronized to an external signal source, and the external signal is examined during these quantized time intervals for the occurrence of significant cyclic events such as zero crossing.

Delayed clock pulse synchronizing of random input pulses

TL;DR: In this paper, a clock gate allows the counter to accumulate clock pulse count when the input and output states are different and prevents the counter from accumulating clock pulses when the inputs and outputs are the same, thus taking into account fine chatter at the input transitions to extend the 5 millisecond time an amount depending upon the nature and extent of fine chatter.
