Phase-locked loop with VCO
8. Functional description
The 74HC4046A; 74HCT4046A is a phase-locked-loop circuit that comprises a linear
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and three different phase comparators (PC1, PC2 and
PC3). It has a common signal input amplifier and a common comparator input (see
Figure 1). The signal input can be directly coupled to a large voltage signal, or indirectly
coupled (with a series capacitor) to a small voltage signal. A self-bias input circuit keeps
small voltage signals within the linear region of the input amplifiers. With a passive
low-pass filter, the 74HC4046A; 74HCT4046A forms a second-order loop PLL. The
excellent VCO linearity is achieved by the use of linear op amp techniques.
8.1 VCO
The VCO requires one external capacitor C1 (between pins C1A and C1B) and one
external resist or R1 (between pins R1 and GND). Alternatively, it requires two external
resistors R1 and R2 (between pins R1 and GND, and R2 and GND). Resistor R1 and
capacitor C1 dete rmine the frequency r ange of the VCO. Resistor R2 en ables the VCO to
have a frequency offset if necessary (see Figure 4).
The high input imped ance of the VCO simplifies the design of the low-pass filters by giving
the designer a wide ch oice of resist or /ca pacitor ranges. In order not to load the low-pass
filter, a demodulator output of the VCO input voltage is provided at pin DEM_OUT. In
contrast to conventional techniques, where the DEM_OUT voltage is one threshold
voltage lower than the VCO in put volt age, the DEM_OUT volt age e quals the VCO inpu t. If
DEM_OUT is used, a series resistor (Rs) should be connected from pin DEM_OUT to
GND; if unused, DEM_OUT should be left open. The VCO output (pin VCO_OUT) can be
connected dir ec tly to the co mparat or input (pin COMP_IN), or connected via a frequency
divider. When the VCO input DC level is held constant, the VCO output signal has a duty
cycle of 50 % (maximum expected deviation 1 %). A LOW-level at the inhibit input
(pin INH) enables the VCO and demodulator, while a HIGH-level turns both off to
minimize standby power consumption.
The only difference between the 74HC4046A and 74HCT4046A is the input level
specification of the INH input. This input disables the VCO section. The sections of the
comparator are identical, so that there is no difference in the SIG_IN or COMP_IN inputs
between the 74HC4046A and 74HCT4046A.
8.2 Phase comparators
The input signal can be coupled to the self-biasing amplifier at pin SIG_IN, when the
signal swing is between the standard HC family input logic levels. Capacitive coupling is
required for signals with smaller swings.

8.2.1 Phase Comparator 1 (PC1)
This circuit is an EXCLUSIVE-OR network. The signal and comparator input frequencies
(fi) must have a 50 % duty cycle to obtain the maximum locking range. Th e transfer
characteristic of PC1, assuming ripple (fr=2f
i) is suppressed, is:
where:
VDEM_OUT is the demodulator output at pin DEM_OUT
VDEM_OUT =V
PC1_OUT (via low-pass filter)
The phase comparator gain is:
PC1 is fed to the VCO input via the lo w- pass filter and se en at the de mo d ula to r ou tp ut at
pin DEM_OUT (VDEM_OUT). The average output voltage from PC1 is the result of the
phase differences of signals (SIG_IN) and the comparator input (COMP_IN). These phase
dif ferences are shown in Figure 6. T h e ave rage of VDEM_OUT is equal to 0.5VCC when
there is no signal or noise at SIG_IN. Using this input, the VCO oscillates at the center
frequency (f0). Typical waveforms for the PC1 loop locked at f0 are shown in Figure 7.
The frequency capture range (2f c) is defined as the frequency rang e of input signals on
which the PLL locks when it was initially out-of-lock. The frequency lock range (2fL) is the
frequency range of th e input sign als on which th e loop stays locked when it was initially in
lock. The capture range is smaller or equal to the lock range.
With PC1, the captur e ra ng e depen d s on th e low -pass filter char ac te rist ics an d ca n be
made as large as the loc k ran ge. T his co nf ig uration remains locked even with very noisy
input signals. Typical behavior of this type of phase comparator is that it can lock to input
frequencies close to the harmonics of the VCO center frequency.

8.2.2 Phase Comparator 2 (PC2)
PC2 is a positive edge-triggered phase and frequency detector. When the PLL uses this
comparator, positive signal transitions control the loop and the duty cycles of SIG_ IN an d
COMP_IN are not important. PC2 comprises two D-type flip-flops, control gating and a
3-state output stage. The circuit fu nctions as an up-down counter (se e Figure 4) wher e
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:
where:
VDEM_OUT is the demodulator output at pin DEM_OUT
VDEM_OUT =V
PC2_OUT (via low-pass filter)
The phase comparator gain is:
VDEM_OUT is the resultant of the initial phase differences of SIG_IN and COMP_IN as
shown in Figure 8. Typical waveforms for the PC2 loop locked at fo are shown in Figure 9.
When the SIG_IN and COMP_IN frequencies are equ al but the phase of SIG_IN leads
that of COMP_IN, the p-type output driver at PC2_OUT is held ‘ON’. The time that it is
held ÓN’ corresponds to the phase diff erence (DEM_OUT). When the phase of SIG_IN
lags that of COMP_IN, the n-type driver is held ‘ON’.
When the SIG_IN frequency is higher than the COMP_IN freq ue n cy, the p-type ou tp ut
driver is held ‘ON’ for most of the input sign al cycle time . Fo r th e re ma in de r of the cyc le
time, 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.
The voltage at capacitor (C2) of the low-pass filter, connected to PC2_OUT, varies until
the phase and frequency of the signal and co mparator inputs are equal . At this stable
point, the voltage on C2 remains consta nt as the PC2 output is in 3 -state and the VCO_IN
input is in a high-impedance state. In this condition, the signal at the phase comparator
pulse output (PCP_OUT) is a HIGH level and can be used for indicating a locked
condition.
Thus for PC2 no phase difference exists between SIG_IN and COMP_IN over the full
frequency range of the VCO. The power dissipation due to the low-pass filter is reduced
because both n- and p-type output dr ivers are ‘OFF’ for most of the signal input cycle. The
PLL lock range for this type of phase comparator is equal to the capture range and is
independent of the low-pass filter. With no signal present at SIG_IN the VCO adjust, via
PC2, to its lowest frequency.

8.2.3 Phase Comparator 3 (PC3)
PC3 is a positive edge-triggered sequential phase detector using an RS-type flip-flop.
When the PLL is using this comp arator, positive signal transitions control the loop and the
duty factors of SIG_IN and COMP_IN are not important. The transfer characteristic of
PC3, assuming ripple (fr=f
i) is suppressed, is:
where:
VDEM_OUT is the demodulator output at pin DEM_OUT
VDEM_OUT =V
PC3_OUT (via low-pass filter)
The phase comparator gain is:
PC3 is fed to the VCO via the low-pass filter and se en at the demodulator output at
pin DEM_OUT. The average output from PC3 is the resultant of the phase differences of
SIG_IN and COMP_IN, see Figure 10. Typical waveforms for the PC3 loop locked at
foare shown in Figure 11.
The phase-to-output response characteristic of PC3 (Figure 10) differs from PC2 in that
the phase angle between SIG_IN and COMP_IN varies between 0 and 360 It is 180 at
the center frequency. Also PC3 gives a greater voltage swing than PC2 for input phase
differences. As a result, the ripple content of the VCO input signal is higher. The PLL lock
range for this type of phase comparator and the capture range are dependent on the
low-pass filter. With no signal present at SIG_IN, the VCO adjusts to its lowest frequency
via PC3.

Phase-locked loop with VCO
To obtain optimum temperature stability, C1 must be as small as possible but larger than 100 pF.
In (b), the frequency stability for R1 = R2 = 10 k at 5 V is also given (curve A). The total VCO bias current sets this curve, and
is not simply the addition of the two 10 k stability curves. C1 = 100 pF; VVCO_IN = 0.5VCC; This curve is set as follows:
___ Without offset R2 = k: (a) R1 = 3 k; (b) R1 = 10 k; (c) R1 = 300 k.
- - - With offset R1 = k: (a) R2 = 3 k; (b) R2 = 10 k; (c) R2 = 300 k.

The output frequency is proportional to the VCO control voltage. As a result, the PLL frequency
response can be observed with an oscilloscope by monitoring pin VCO_IN of the VCO. The average
frequency response, as calculated by the Laplace method, is found expe rim entally by smoo th in g this
voltage at pin VCO_IN using a simple RC filter. The filter has a long time constant when compared
with the phase dete cto r sa mp lin g ra te but sh or t when compared with the PLL response time.
