PLL with bandgap controlled VCO74HCT9046A
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HCT9046A is a
phase-locked-loop circuit that
comprises a linear VCO and two
different phase comparators (PC1
and PC2) with a common signal input
amplifier and a common comparator
input (see Fig.4). The signal input can
be directly coupled to large voltage
signals (CMOS level), 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 '9046A' forms a
second-order loop PLL.
The principle of this
phase-locked-loop is based on the
familiar HCT4046A. However extra
features are built in, allowing very
high performance phase-locked-loop
applications. This is done, at the
expense of PC3, which is skipped in
this HCT9046A. The PC2 is equipped
with a current source output stage
here. Further a bandgap is applied for
all internal references, allowing a
small centre frequency tolerance. The
details are summed up in the next
section called: “Differences with
respect to the familiar HCT4046A”.
If one is familiar with the HCT4046A
already, it will do to read this section
only.
DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO
THE FAMILIAR HCT4046A
• A centre frequency tolerance of
maximum ±10%.
• The on board bandgap sets the
internal references resulting in a
minimal frequency shift at supply
voltage variations and temperature
variations.
• The value of the frequency offset is
determined by an internal
reference voltage of 2.5 V instead
− 0.7 V. In this way the offset
of V
CC
frequency will not shift over the
supply voltage range.
• A current switch charge pump
output on PC2 allows a virtually
ideal performance of PC2. The gain
of PC2 is independent of the
voltage across the low-pass filter.
Further a passive low-pass filter in
the loop achieves an active
performance now. The influence of
the parasitic capacitance of the
PC2 output plays no role here,
resulting in a true correspondence
of the output correction pulse and
the phase difference even up to
phase differences as small as a few
nanoseconds.
• Because of its linear performance
without dead zone, higher
impedance values for the filter,
hence lower C-values, can now be
chosen. Correct operation will not
be influenced by parasitic
capacitances as in the instance
with voltage source output of the
4046A.
• No PC3 on pin 15 but instead a
resistor connected to GND, which
sets the load/unload currents of the
charge pump (PC2).
• Extra GND pin at pin 1 to allow an
excellent FM demodulator
performance even at 10 MHz and
higher.
• Combined function of pin 2. If
pin 15 is connected to V
(no bias
CC
resistor Rb) pin 2 has its familiar
function viz. output of PC1. If at
pin 15 a resistor (Rb) is connected
to GND it is assumed that PC2 has
been chosen as phase comparator.
Connection of Rb is sensed by
internal circuitry and this changes
the function of pin 2 into a lock
detect output (PCP
same characteristics as PCP
) with the
OUT
OUT
of
pin 1 of the well known
74HCT4046A.
• The inhibit function differs. For the
HCT4046A a HIGH level at the
inhibit input (INH) disables the VCO
and demodulator, while a LOW
level turns both on. For the
74HCT9046A a HIGH level on the
inhibit input disables the whole
circuit to minimize standby power
consumption.
VCO
The VCO requires one external
capacitor C1 (between C1
and C1B)
A
and one external resistor R1
(between R1 and GND) or two
external resistors R1 and R2
(between R1 and GND, and R2 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
(see Fig.5).
The high input impedance of the VCO
simplifies the design of the 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
). The DEM
OUT
OUT
voltage
equals that of the VCO input. If
DEM
is used, a load resistor (Rs)
OUT
should be connected from pin 10 to
GND; if unused, DEM
left open. The VCO output (VCO
should be
OUT
OUT
can be connected directly to the
comparator input (COMPIN), 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.

Phase comparators
The signal input (SIGIN) 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.

HASE COMPARATOR 1 (PC1)
This circuit is an EXCLUSIVE-OR
network. The signal and comparator
input frequencies (f

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 (SIGIN)
and the comparator input (COMPIN)
as shown in Fig.6. The average of
V
DEMOUT
there is no signal or noise at SIG
is equal to1⁄2VCC when
IN
and with this input the VCO oscillates
at the centre frequency (fc). Typical
waveforms for the PC1 loop locked at
fc are shown in Fig.7. This figure also
shows the actual waveforms across
the VCO capacitor at pins 6 and 7
(V
C1A
and V
) to show the relation
C1B
between these ramps and the
VCO
OUT
voltage.
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 (2fL) is defined
as the frequency range of the 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 remains
locked even with very noisy input
signals. Typical behaviour of this type
of phase comparator is that it may
lock to input frequencies close to the
harmonics of the VCO centre
frequency.
P
HASE 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
SIGIN and COMPIN are not important.
PC2 comprises two D-type flip-flops,
control gating and a 3-state output
stage with sink and source transistors
acting as current sources, henceforth
called charge pump output of PC2.
The circuit functions as an up-down
counter (Fig.5) where SIGIN causes
an up-count and COMPIN a down
count. The current switch charge
pump output allows a virtually ideal
performance of PC2, due to appliance
of some pulse overlap of the up and
down signals. See Fig.8a.

When the frequencies of SIGIN and
COMPIN are equal but the phase of
SIGIN leads that of COMPIN, the up
output driver at PC2
is held ‘ON’
OUT
for a time corresponding to the phase
difference (Φ
). When the phase of
PCIN
SIGIN lags that of COMPIN, the down
or sink driver is held ‘ON’.
When the frequency of SIGIN is higher
than that of COMPIN, the source
output driver is held ‘ON’ for most of
the input signal cycle time and for the
remainder of the cycle time both
drivers are ‘OFF’ (3-state). If the
SIGIN frequency is lower than the
COMPIN frequency, then it is the sink
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
varies until the
OUT
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. Also in this
condition the signal at the phase
comparator pulse output (PCP
OUT
)
has a minimum output pulse width
equal to the overlap time, so can be
used for indicating a locked condition.
Thus for PC2 no phase difference
exists between SIGIN 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 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 and is independent of the
low-pass filter. With no signal present
at SIGIN the VCO adjust, via PC2, to
its lowest frequency.
By using current sources as charge
pump output on PC2, the dead zone
or backlash time could be reduced to
zero. Also, the pulse widening due to
the parasitic output capacitance plays
no role here. This enables a linear
transfer function, even in the vicinity
of the zero crossing. The differences
between a voltage switch charge
pump and a current switch charge
pump are shown in Fig.11.
The design of the low-pass filter is
somewhat different when using
current sources. The external resistor
R3 is no longer present when using
PC2 as phase comparator. The
current source is set by Rb. A simple
capacitor behaves as an ideal
integrator now, because the capacitor
is charged by a constant current. The
transfer function of the voltage switch
charge pump may be used. In fact it is
even more valid, because the transfer
function is no longer restricted for
small changes only. Further the
current is independent from both the
supply voltage and the voltage across
the filter. For one that is familiar with
the low-pass filter design of the
4046A a relation may show how R
b
relates with a fictive series resistance,
called R3'.
This relation can be derived by
assuming first that a voltage
controlled switch PC2 of the 4046A is
connected to the filter capacitance C2
via this fictive R3' (see Fig.8b). Then
during the PC2 output pulse the
charge current equals:

Again this illustrates the supply
voltage independent behaviour of
PC2.
Examples of PC2 combined with a
passive filter are shown in Figs 12
and 13. Figure 12 shows that PC2
with only a C2 filter behaves as a
high-gain filter. For stability the
damped version of Fig.13 with series
resistance R4 is preferred.
Practical design values for R
are
b
between 25 and 250 kΩ with
R3' = 1.5 to 15 kΩ for the filter design.
Higher values for R3' require lower
values for the filter capacitance which
is very advantageous at low values
