GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HC/HCT7046 are high-speed
Si-gate CMOS devices and are
specified in compliance with JEDEC
standard no. 7.
The 74HC/HCT7046 are
phase-locked-loop circuits that
comprise a linear voltage-controlled
oscillator (VCO) and two different
phase comparators (PC1 and PC2)
with a common signal input amplifier
and a common comparator input.
A lock detector is provided and this
gives a HIGH level at pin 1 (LD) when
the PLL is locked. The lock detector
capacitor must be connected
between pin 15 (C
LD
) and pin 8
(GND). The value of the C
LD
capacitor
can be determined, using information
supplied in Fig.32. The input signal
can be directly coupled to large
voltage signals, or indirectly coupled
(with a series capacitor) to small
voltage signals. A self-bias input
circuit keeps small voltage signals
within the linear region of the input

amplifiers. With a passive low-pass
filter, the “7046” forms a second-order
loop PLL. The excellent VCO linearity
is achieved by the use of linear
op-amp techniques.
VCO
The VCO requires one external
capacitor C1 (between C1
A
and C1
B
)
and one external resistor R1
(between R
1
and GND) or two
external resistors R1 and R2
(between R
1
and GND, and R
2
and
GND). Resistor R1 and capacitor C1
determine the frequency range of the
VCO. Resistor R2 enables the VCO
to have a frequency offset if required.
The high input impedance of the VCO
simplifies the design of low-pass
filters by giving the designer a wide
choice of resistor/capacitor ranges. In
order not to load the low-pass filter, a
demodulator output of the VCO input
voltage is provided at pin 10
(DEM
OUT
). In contrast to conventional
techniques where the DEM
OUT
voltage is one threshold voltage lower
than the VCO input voltage, here the
DEM
OUT
voltage equals that of the
VCO input. If DEM
OUT
is used, a load
resistor (R
S
) should be connected
from DEM
OUT
to GND; if unused,
DEM
OUT
should be left open. The
VCO output (VCO
OUT
) can be
connected directly to the comparator
input (COMP
IN
), or connected via a
frequency-divider. The VCO output
signal has a duty factor of 50%
(maximum expected deviation 1%), if
the VCO input is held at a constant
DC level. A LOW level at the inhibit
input (INH) enables the VCO and
demodulator, while a HIGH level turns
both off to minimize standby power
consumption.
The only difference between the HC
and HCT versions is the input level
specification of the INH input. This
input disables the VCO section. The
comparators’ sections are identical,
so that there is no difference in the
2
74HC/HCT7046A
SIG
IN
(pin 14) or COMP
IN
(pin 3)
inputs between the HC and HCT
versions.
Phase comparators
The signal input (SIG
IN
) can be
directly coupled to the self-biasing
amplifier at pin 14, provided that the
signal swing is between the standard
HC family input logic levels.
Capacitive coupling is required for
signals with smaller swings.
Phase comparator 1 (PC1)
This is an EXCLUSIVE-OR network.
The signal and comparator input
frequencies (f
i
) must have a 50% duty
factor to obtain the maximum locking
range. The transfer characteristic of
PC1, assuming ripple (f
r
= 2f

) is
suppressed,

The average output voltage from
PC1, fed to the VCO input via the
low-pass filter and seen at the
demodulator output at pin 10
(V
DEMOUT
), is the resultant of the
phase differences of signals (SIG
IN
)
and the comparator input (COMP
IN
)
as shown in Fig.6. The average of
V

is equal to 1/2 V

there is no signal or noise at SIG

and with this input the VCO oscillates
at the centre frequency (f

). Typical

Product specification
Phase-locked-loop with lock detector
waveforms for the PC1 loop locked at
f
o
are shown in Fig.7.
The frequency capture range (2f
c
) is
defined as the frequency range of
input signals on which the PLL will
lock if it was initially out-of-lock. The
frequency lock range (2f
L
) is defined
as the frequency range of input
signals on which the loop will stay
locked if it was initially in lock. The
capture range is smaller or equal to
the lock range.
With PC1, the capture range depends
on the low-pass filter characteristics
and can be made as large as the lock
range. This configuration retains lock
even with very noisy input signals.
Typical behaviour of this type of
phase comparator is that it can lock to
input frequencies close to the
harmonics of the VCO centre
frequency.

the low-pass filter. With no signal
present at SIG
IN
the VCO adjusts, via
PC2, to its lowest frequency.
APPLICATIONS
V
DEMOUT
is the resultant of the initial
phase differences of SIG
IN
and
COMP
IN
as shown in Fig.8. Typical
waveforms for the PC2 loop locked at
f
o
are shown in Fig.9.
When the frequencies of SIG
IN
and
COMP
IN
are equal but the phase of
SIG
IN
leads that of COMP
IN
, the
p-type output driver at PC2
OUT
is held
“ON” for a time corresponding to the
phase difference (φ
DEMOUT
). When
the phase of SIG
IN
lags that of
COMP
IN
, the n-type driver is held
“ON”.
When the frequency of SIG
IN
is higher
than that of COMP
IN
, the p-type
output driver is held “ON” for most of
the input signal cycle time, and for
the remainder of the cycle both n and
p- type drivers are “OFF” (3-state). If
the SIG
IN
frequency is lower than the
COMP
IN
frequency, then it is the
n-type driver that is held “ON” for
most of the cycle. Subsequently, the
voltage at the capacitor (C2) of the
low-pass filter connected to PC2
OUT
varies until the signal and comparator
inputs are equal in both phase and
frequency. At this stable point the
voltage on C2 remains constant as
the PC2 output is in 3-state and the
VCO input at pin 9 is a high
impedance.
Thus, for PC2, no phase difference
exists between SIG
IN
and COMP
IN
over the full frequency range of the
VCO. Moreover, the power
dissipation due to the low-pass filter is
reduced because both p and n-type
drivers are “OFF” for most of the
signal input cycle. It should be noted
that the PLL lock range for this type of
phase comparator is equal to the
capture range and is independent of

Phase comparator 2 (PC2)
This is a positive edge-triggered
phase and frequency detector. When
the PLL is using this comparator, the
loop is controlled by positive signal
transitions and the duty factors of
SIG
IN
and COMP
IN
are not important.
PC2 comprises two D-type flip-flops,
control-gating and a 3-state output
stage. The circuit functions as an
up-down counter (Fig.5) where SIG
IN
causes an up-count and COMP
IN
a
down-count. The transfer function of
PC2, assuming ripple (f
r
= f
i
) is
suppressed,
is:
