Abstract

Aspects for reducing jitter in a PLL of a high speed serial link include examining at least one parameter related to performance of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) in the PLL, and controlling adjustment of a supply voltage to the VCO based on the examining. A regulator control circuit performs the examining and controlling.
