please help to see the attached picture. in the highlighted part, what is "single, multi-bit" ?

is there anyone did this kind of high-speed dual-loop digital CDR before?

Thanks!

The output of a single phase detector is a one-bit signal. The author intends to take several phase detectors which produce one-bit signals and add their outputs, resulting in a single signal which has multiple bits. For example, if there are eight phase detectors which all have 1-bit outputs, the result is a single 3-bit signal whose value is simply the binary sum of the phase detectors' outputs. The author described this operation as "boxcar filtering" and "decimation," but it's much simpler than that.

thanks! the word single and multi confused me.
seems more clear to me now. it looks like working as a decimal to binary encoder?

Not quite. It is performing a summing function. In sequential logic, this might be a counter which counts the OR'ed phase detector pulses; in combinational logic, this could be implemented as multiple stages of adders--in this example, 3 stages.
