CMOS Micropower Phase Locked Loop
Description
CD4046BMS CMOS Micropower Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
consists of a low power linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)
and two different phase comparators having a common signalinput amplifier and a common comparator input. A 5.2V zener
diode is provided for supply regulation if necessary.
The CD4046BMS is supplied in these 16-lead outline packages:
Braze Seal DIPH4W
Frit Seal DIPH1F
Ceramic Flatpack H6W
VCO Section
The VCO requires one external capacitor C1 and one or two
external resistors (R1 or R1 and R2). Resistor R1 and capacitor
C1 determine the frequency range of the VCO and resistor R2
enables the VCO to have a frequency offset if required. The high
input impedance (10
pass filters by permitting the designer a wide choice of resistorto-capacitor ratios. In order not to load the low-pass filter, a
source-follower output of the VCO input voltage is provided at terminal 10 (DEMODULATED OUTPUT). If this terminal is used, a
load resistor (RS) of 10kΩ or more should be connected from
this terminal to VSS. If unused this terminal should be left open.
The VCO can be connected either directly or through frequency
dividers to the comparator input of the phase comparators. A full
CMOS logic swing is available at the output of the VCO and
allows direct coupling to CMOS frequency dividers such as the
Intersil CD4024, CD4018, CD4020, CD4029, and CD4050. One
or more CD4018 (Preset Table Divide-By-N Counter) or CD4029
(Presettable Up/Down Counter) or CD4029 (Presettable Divideby-N Counter) or CD4029 (Presettable Up/Down Counter), or
CD4059A (Programmable Divide-by “N” Counter), together with
the CD4046BMS (Phase-Locked Loop) can be used to build a
micropower low-frequency synthesizer. A logic 0 on the INHIBIT
input “enables” the VCO and the source follower, while a logic 1
“turns off” both to minimize stand-by power consumption.
The phase-comparator signal input (terminal 14) can be
direct-coupled provided the signal swing is within CMOS
logic levels (logic “0” ≤30% (VDD-VSS). logic “1” ≥70% (VDD
- VSS)]. For smaller swings the signal must be capacitively
coupled to the self-biasing amplifier at the signal input.
Phase-comparator I is an exclusive -OR network; it operates
analogously to an overdriven balanced mixer. To maximize
the lock range, the signal and comparator-input frequencies
must have a 50% duty cycle. With no signal or noise on the
signal input, this phase comparator has an average output
voltage equal to VDD/2. The low-pass filter connected to the
output of phase-comparator I supplies the averaged voltage
to the VCO input, and causes the VCO to oscillate at the
center frequency (f
).

The frequency range of input signals on which the PLL will
lock if it was initially out of lock is defined as the frequency
capture range (2fc).
The frequency range of input signals on which the loop will
stay locked if it was initially in lock is defined as the frequency lock range (2fL). The capture range is ≤ the lock
range.
With phase-comparator I the range of frequencies over
which the PLL can acquire lock (capture range) is dependent
on the low-pass-filter characteristics, and can be made as
large as the lock range. Phase-comparator I enables a PLL
system to remain in lock in spite of high amounts of noise in
the input signal.
One characteristic of this type of phase comparator is that it
may lock onto input frequencies that are close to harmonics of
the VCO center-frequency. A second characteristic is that the
phase angle between the signal and the comparator input varies between 0
o
and 180o, and is 90o at the center frequency.

response characteristic of phase comparator I. Typical waveforms for a CMOS phase-locked-loop employing phase comparator I in locked condition of f

Phase comparator II is an edge-controlled digital memory
network. It consists of four flip-flop stages, control gating,
and a three-state output circuit comprising p- and n- type
drivers having a common output node. When the p-MOS or
n-MOS drivers are ON they pull the output up to VDD or
down to VSS, respectively. This type of phase comparator
acts only on the positive edges of the signal and comparator
inputs. The duty cycles of the signal and comparator inputs
are not important since positive transitions control the PLL
system utilizing this type of comparator. If the signal-input
frequency is higher than the comparator-input frequency , the
p-type output driver is maintained ON most of the time, and
both the n and p drivers OFF (3state) the remainder of the
time. If the signal-input frequency is lower than the comparator-input frequency, the n-type output driver is maintained
ON most of the time, and both the n and p drivers OFF (3
state) the remainder of the time. If the signal and comparator
input frequencies are the same, but the signal input lags the
comparator input in phase, the n-type output driver is maintained ON for a time corresponding to the phase differences.
If the signal and comparator-input frequencies are the same,
but the comparator input lags the signal in phase, the p-type
output driver is maintained ON for a time corresponding to
the phase difference. Subsequently, the capacitor voltage of
the low-pass filter connected to this phase comparator is
adjusted until the signal and comparator inputs are equal in
both phase and frequency . At this stable point both p- and ntype output drivers remain OFF and thus the phase comparator output becomes an open circuit and holds the voltage
on the capacitor of the low-pass filter constant. Moreover the
signal at the “phase pulses” output is a high level which can
be used for indicating a locked condition. Thus, for phase
comparator II, no phase difference exists between signal and
comparator input over the full VCO frequency range. Moreover, the power dissipation due to the low-pass filter is
reduced when this type of phase comparator is used
because both the p- and n-type output 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, independent of the low-pass filter. With
no signal present at the signal input, the VCO is adjusted to
its lowest frequency for phase comparator II. Figure 15
shows typical waveforms for a CMOS PLL employing phase
comparator II in a locked condition.
