Popis: This paper describes the design and implementation of a quad high-speed transceiver cell fabricated in 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. The clocking circuit of the cell employs a dual-loop architecture with a high-bandwidth core phase-locked loop (PLL) and low-bandwidth digitally controlled interpolators. To achieve low jitter while maintaining low power consumption, the dual-loop PLL uses two on-chip linear regulators of different bandwidths, one for the core and the other for the interpolator loop. The prototype chip operates from 400 Mb/s to 4 Gb/s with a bit error rate of
