    Abstract: Integrated clock differential buffering. A first phase locked loop (PLL) circuit having a first clocking ratio is coupled to receive an input differential clock signal. The first PLL circuit generates a first reference clock signal. A second PLL circuit having a second clocking ratio is coupled to receive the input differential clock signal. The second PLL circuit to generate a second reference clock signal. A first set of clock signal output buffers are coupled to receive the first reference clock signal and to provide a first differential reference clock signal corresponding to the first reference clock signal. A second set of clock signal output buffers is coupled to receive the second reference clock signal and to provide a second differential reference clock signal corresponding to the second reference clock signal. The first PLL circuit, the second PLL circuit, the first set of output buffers and the second set of output buffers reside within an integrated circuit package also having a die to receive at least the first differential reference clock signal.
