- How are faster internal clocks for CPU's typically generated? I am
- wondering about processors such as the transputer, where the internal
- clock is a significant multiple of the external clock. The external
- clock speed can not be varied (for the transputer at least), so my
- first guess is that there is a PLL inside - but wouldn't that require
- analog circuitry?
