Abstract :
A phase-locked loop (PLL) in silicon over insulator (SOI) for clock generation for CMOS processors can be used on all chips in a mainframe nest which constitute up to a 10-way computer. Test site measurements show a continuous range of operation between 65 MHz and 1.3 GHz with 12 ps steady-state jitter.
