Description
The ’HC4046A and ’HCT4046A are high-speed silicon-gate
CMOS devices that are pin compatible with the CD4046B of
the “4000B” series. They are specified in compliance with
JEDEC standard number 7.
The ’HC4046A and ’HCT4046A are phase-locked-loop
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 achiev ed by the use of
linear op-amp techniques.

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

it was initially out-of-lock. The frequency lock range (2f

)is
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.

frequency. At this stable point the voltage on C2 remains
constant as the PC2 output is in three-state and the VCO

Thus, for PC2, no phase difference exists between SIG

Moreover, the power dissipation due to the low-pass filter 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 is independent of the low-pass filter.

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
that there is no difference in the SIG
(pin 14) or COMP
IN
(pin 3) inputs between the HC and the HCT versions.
CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
