General Description
The MM74HC4046 is a low power phase lock loop utilizing
advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology to obtain high frequency operation bot h in the phase comparator and V CO
sections. This device contai ns a low power linear voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO), a source follower, and three
phase comparators. The thre e phase comparators ha ve a
common signal input and a common comparator input. The
signal input has a self biasing ampl ifier allowing sign als to
be either capacitively co upled to the phase comparators
with a small signal or direc tly coupled with standar d input
logic levels. This device is similar to the C D4046 except
that the Zener diode of the metal gate C MOS device has
been replaced with a third phase comparator.
Phase Comparator I is an exclusive OR (XOR) gate. It provides a digital error signal that ma intains a 90 phase shift
between the VCO’s center freque ncy and the input signal
(50% duty cycle input waveforms). This phase detec tor is
more susceptible to locking onto harmonics of the input frequency than phase compara tor I, but provi des bet ter noise
rejection.
Phase comparator III is an S R fl ip -fl op ga te. It can b e us ed
to provide the phase co mparator functions an d i s s imi lar to
the first comparator in performance.
Phase comparator II is an edge se nsitive digit al seque ntial
network. Two signal outputs are provided, a comparator
output and a phase pulse output. The comparator output is
a 3-STA T E output that provides a signal that locks the VCO
output signal to the i n pu t sign al w ith 0 ph ase shift between
them. This comparator is more susceptible to noise throwing the loop out of lock, but is less likely to lock onto h armonics than the other t wo comparators.
In a typical applicat ion any one of the three compara tors
feed an external fil t er net w ork w hich i n tur n f eed s th e VCO
input. This input is a very high impedance CMOS input
which also drives the source follower. The VCO’s operating
frequency is set by three external components co nnected
to the C1A, C1B, R1 and R2 pins. An inhibit pin is provided
to disable the VCO and the source follower, providing a
method of putting the IC in a low power state.
The source follower is a MOS transistor whose gate is connected to the VCO input and whose drain connects the
Demodulator outp ut. This out put normally is used by tying
a resistor from pin 10 to ground , and p rovides a means of
looking at the VCO input without loading down modifying
the characteristics of the PLL filter.
