Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a processor that can include digital processing circuitry that receives a digital clock signal from a supply regulated phase locked loop. The supply regulated phase locked loop can include a voltage controlled oscillator that can output an analog signal and a level restorer that can receive the analog signal from the voltage controlled oscillator and can translate the analog output into a digital signal that corresponds to an analog output of the voltage controlled oscillator. The supply regulated phase locked loop can receive an analog input having an input voltage that is within a range of acceptable input voltages. The supply regulated phase locked loop can also be configured to generate the digital output signal, such that the range of acceptable input voltages includes voltage values that are greater than and less than the output voltage.
