A method for extracting a clock in a clock data recovery system is provided. The method includes following steps. First, a serial link transmission data is sampled for a number of times, and a number of pulse signals are generated and sequentially arranged. Then, a mark is inserted after all pulse signals are generated and had been delayed for a predetermined delay time. The predetermined delay time is less than a period between two adjacent pulse signals, and a period between two adjacent pulse signals is divided into two sub-periods by the predetermined delay time. Then, it is checked whether the data status in each sub-period is changed or not, and this operation is repeated for a predetermined number of times. Finally, the clock is extracted when a pulse signal of no data status change within the predetermined number of times is being generated.
