CD74HCT4046A
High-Speed CMOS Logic
Phase-Locked-Loop with VCO
Description
The Harris CD74HC4046A and CD74HCT4046A are highspeed silicon-gate CMOS devicesthat are pin compatible with
the CD4046B of the “4000B” series. They are specified in
compliance with JEDEC standard number 7.
The CD74HC4046A and CD74HCT4046A are phase-lockedloop circuits that contain a linear voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) and three different phase comparators (PC1, PC2 and
PC3). A signal input and a comparator input are common to
each comparator.
The signal input can be directly coupled to large voltage signals, 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 4046A forms a second-order loop
PLL. The excellent VCO linearity is achieved by the use of linear op-amp techniques.

The VCO requires one external capacitor C1 (between C1
and C1B) and one external resistor R1 (between R1and
GND) or two external resistors R1 and R2 (between R
GND, and R
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
logic diagram, Figure 1.
The high input impedance of the VCO simplifies the design
of 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

defined as 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 capture range depends on the low-pass filter
characteristics and can be made as large as the lock range.
This configuration retains lock behavior even with very noisy
input signals. Typical of this type of phase comparator is that
it can lock to input frequencies close to the harmonics of the
VCO center frequency.

reduced because both p- and n-type drivers are “OFF” for
most of the signal input cycle. It should be noted that the

The only difference between the HC and HCT versions is the
input level specification of the INH input. This input disables
the VCO section. The comparator’s sections are identical, so
