Abstract

A phase-jumping locked loop circuit. The locked loop circuit includes a plurality of differential amplifiers and a biasing circuit switchably coupled to each of the differential amplifiers. Each of the differential amplifiers has inputs to receive a respective pair of clock signals and outputs coupled to a common pair of output signal lines. The biasing circuit comprising a first plurality of biasing transistors coupled in parallel with one another and in series with a first set of the differential amplifiers, and a second plurality of biasing transistors coupled in parallel with one another and in series with a second set of the differential amplifiers.
