Abstract

Integrated circuits having transceivers capable of high-speed (e.g., 1 Gbps) operation without dedicated phase-locked loop circuitry are provided. One such integrated circuit device may include one or more transceivers capable of transmitting and receiving serial signals of approximately 1 Gbps or greater, and a multi-purpose phase-locked loop capable of providing a multi-phase clock signal to the one or more transceivers.
