CMOS IC
PHASE LOCKED LOOP WITH VCO
„
DESCRIPTION
The U74HC4046A is a phase-locked-loop circuit including a linear
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), three different phase comparators
SOP-16
(PC1, PC2 and PC3), a common signal input amplifier and a common
comparator input.
The signal can be directly coupled to large voltage signals or with a
series capacitor coupled to small voltage signals. Small voltage signals
can be kept within the linear region of the input amplifiers with a self-bias
input circuit. The U74HC4046A and a passive low-pass filter form a
second-order loop PLL. With a linear op-amp, the VCO achieves excellent
linearity.
TSSOP-16
The VCO requires an external capacitor and resistor. R1 (between R1
and GND) and capacitor C1 (between C1A and C1B) determine the
frequency range of the VCO. R2 (between R2 and GND) enables the
VCO to have a frequency offset if required.
For the high input impedance of the VCO, the design of low-pass filters is simplified, and the designer has a wide
choice of resistor/capacitor ranges. At pin 10 (DEMOUT), a demodulator output of the VCO input voltage is provided in
order not to load the low-pass filter. In conventional techniques, the DEMOUT voltage is one threshold voltage lower
than the VCO input voltage, but the DEMOUT voltage of U74HC4046 equals the VCO input voltage. When DEMOUT is
used, a load resistor (RS) should be connected from DEMOUT to GND; but if unused, DEMOUT should be left open.
The VCO output (VCOOUT) can be connected directly or via a frequency-divider to the comparator input (COMPIN). If
the VCO input is held at a constant DC level, the VCO output signal has a duty factor of 50% (maximum expected
deviation 1%). 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.

PHASE COMPARATORS
If the signal swing is between the standard HC family input logic levels, the signal input (SIGIN) can be directly
coupled to the self-biasing amplifier at pin 14. Capacitive coupling is required for signals with smaller swings.
Phase comparator 1 (PC1)
This is an EXCLUSIVE-OR network. To obtain the maximum locking range, the signal and comparator input
frequencies (fI) must have a 50% duty factor.
The transfer characteristic of PC1, assuming ripple (fr = 2fi) is suppressed, is:
VDEMOUT = V CC (φ SIGIN − φ COMPIN )
π
Where VDEMOUT is the demodulator output at pin 10; VDEMOUT = VPC1OUT (via low-pass filter).
K P = V CC ( V / r )
The phase comparator gain is:
π
As shown in Fig.1, 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 (VDEMOUT) is the resultant of the phase differences of signals (SIGIN) and the
comparator input (COMPIN). The average of VDEMOUT is equal to VCC/2 when there is no signal or noise at SIGIN and
with this input the VCO oscillates at the centre frequency (fO). As shown in Fig.2 it is the typical waveforms for the
PC1 loop locked at fO.

Fig.2 Typical waveforms for PLL using phase comparator 1, loop locked at fO.
The frequency capture range (2fc) is he frequency range of input signals on which the PLL will lock if it was
initially out-of-lock. The frequency lock range (2fL) is 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 low-pass filter characteristics determine the capture range which can be made as large as the
lock range.
This configuration retains lock 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 centre frequency.

PHASE COMPARATORS (Cont.)
Phase comparator 2 (PC2)
This is a positive edge-triggered phase and frequency detector. If the PLL is using the comparator, the loop is
controlled by positive signal transitions and the duty factors of SIGIN and COMPIN are not important. PC2 is
comprised of two D-type flip-flops, control-gating and a 3-state output stage. The circuit function is as an up-down
counter (Logic Diagram) for SIGIN causes an up-count and COMPIN causes a down-count.
The transfer function of PC2, assuming ripple (fr = fi) is suppressed, is
VDEMOUT = V CC (φ SIGIN − φ COMPIN )
4π
where VDEMOUT is the demodulator output at pin 10; VDEMOUT = VPC2OUT (via low-pass filter).
The phase comparator gain is:
K P = V CC ( V / r )
4π
As shown in Fig.3, VDEMOUT is the resultant of the initial phase differences of SIGIN and COMPIN. Typical
waveforms for the PC2 loop locked at fo are shown in Fig.4.
4π
Fig.3 Phase comparator 2: average output voltage versus input phase difference.
Fig.4 Typical waveforms for PLL using phase comparator 2, loop locked at fo.
If the frequencies of SIGIN and COMPIN are equal but the phase of SIGIN leads that of COMPIN, the p-type
output driver at PC2OUT is held “ON” for a time corresponding to the phase difference (φDEMOUT). If the phase of
SIGIN lags that of COMPIN, the n-type driver is held “ON”.
If the frequency of SIGIN is higher than that of COMPIN, 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
frequency of SIGIN is lower than that of COMPIN, the n-type driver that is held “ON” for most of the cycle. Then the
voltage at the capacitor (C2) of the low-pass filter connected to PC2OUT varies until the signal and comparator inputs
are equal in both phase and frequency. At this stable state 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. Also in the condition, the signal at the phase comparator
pulse output (PCPOUT) is a HIGH level, and it indicates a locked condition.
For PC2, there is no phase difference between SIGIN and COMPIN over the full frequency range of the VCO.
And as the low-pass filter, the power dissipation 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 this is independent of the low-pass filter. The VCO adjusts to its lowest frequency via PC2 when
no signal present at SIGIN.

Phase comparator 3 (PC3)
This is a positive edge-triggered sequential phase detector using an RS-type flip-flop. If this comparator is used,
the loop is controlled by positive signal transitions and the duty factors of SIGIN and COMPIN are not important. The
transfer characteristic of PC3, assuming ripple (fr = fj) is suppressed, is:
VDEMOUT = V CC (φ SIGIN − φ COMPIN )
2π
where VDEMOUT = VPC3OUT (via low-pass filter).
K P = V CC ( V / r )
2π
The phase comparator gain is:
As shown in Fig.5, the average output voltage from PC3, fed to the low-pass filter and seen at the demodulator
output at pin 10 (VDEMOUT), is the resultant of the phase differences of SIGIN and COMPIN. As shown in Fig.6, it is the
typical waveforms for the PC3 loop locked at fo.

The phase-to-output response characteristic of PC3 (Fig.5) differs from that of PC2, as the phase angle
between SIGIN and COMPIN varies between 0o and 360o and 180o is the centre frequency. And the voltage swing of
PC3 is greater than that of PC2 for input phase differences, but as a consequence the ripple content of VCO input
signal is higher. Both of the PLL lock range and capture range of this type of phase comparator are dependent on
the low-pass filter. The VCO adjusts to its lowest frequency via PC3, when no signal present at SIGIN.

PLL DESIGN EXAMPLE
Fig.15 Frequency Synthesizer.
The parameters of the frequency synthesizer in Fig.15:
Output frequency: 2 MHz to 3 MHz
Frequency steps: 100kHz
Settling time: 1ms
Overshoot: < 20%
The Open-Loop Gain is: H (s ) × G(s ) = K p × K f × K o × K n
Where: Kp = phase comparator gain
Kf = low-pass filter transfer gain
Ko = Kv/s VCO gain
Kn = 1/n divider ratio
The programmable counter ratio Kn can be found as follows:
f
2MHz
NMin = out =
= 20
fstep 100kHz
NMax =
fout
3MHz
=
= 30
fstep 100kHz
The VCO is set by the values of R1, R2 and C1, R2 = 10 kΩ (adjustable). The values can be determined using the
information in the section “DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS”.
With fo = 2.5MHz and fL =500 kHz this gives the following values (VCC = 5.0 V):
R1 = 10 kΩ; R2 = 10 kΩ; C1 = 500 pF
The VCO gain is:
KV =
2fL × 2 × π

The gain of the phase comparator is:
The transfer gain of the filter is given by:
The characteristics equation is:
Kp =
VCC
= 0.4V / s

Kf =
1 + τ 2S
1 + (τ 1 + τ 2 )S
Where: τ 1 = R3C2 and τ 2 = R4C2
1 + H(S) × G(S) = 0
This results in: S 2 + 1 + K p × K v × K n × τ 2 S + K p × K v × K n = 0
