Abstract
A device comprising a clock circuit, a control circuit, and a current mode logic (CML) circuit is disclosed. The clock circuit provides a first differential clock signal and the control circuit generates a control signal based at least in part on the frequency of the first differential clock signal. The CML circuit generates a second differential clock signal based at least in part on the first differential clock signal. The CML circuit operates in one of a plurality of different frequency modes based at least in part on the control signal and includes a number of variable resistors that are responsive to the control signal.
