Abstract: An example apparatus for generating a clock includes a phase locked loop circuit to generate a first clock signal having a specified frequency through an oscillator, a monitoring circuit to monitor a first bit error rate (BER) of a first signal received in response to the first clock signal, and a control logic circuit to control the phase locked loop circuit based on a monitoring result. The control logic circuit is to connect a first boosting current source, which is included in the phase locked loop circuit, with the oscillator, when the first bit error rate is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value, and disconnect a second boosting current source, which is previously connected with the oscillator, from the oscillator, when the first bit error rate is less than the threshold value.
