PLL with band gap controlled VCO
8. 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 Figure 1. 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 74HCT9046A forms a
second-order loop PLL.
The principle of this phase-locked-loop is based on the familiar 74HCT4046A. 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 74HCT9046A.
The PC2 is equipped with a current source output stage here. Further a band gap is
applied for all internal references, allowing a small center frequency tolerance. The details
are summed up in Section 8.1. If one is familiar with the 74HCT4046A already, it will do to
read this section only.
8.1 Differences with respect to the familiar 74HCT4046A
• A center frequency tolerance of maximum 10 %.
• The on board band gap 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 of VCC 0.7 V; In this way the offset frequency will not shift over the
supply voltage range.
• A current switch charge pump output on pin PC2_OUT 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. 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 be chosen; correct operation will not be
influenced by parasitic capacitances as in case of the voltage source output using the
74HCT4046A.
• No PC3 on pin RB but instead a resistor connected to GND, which sets the
load/unload currents of the charge pump (PC2).
• Extra GND pin 1 to allow an excellent FM demodulator performance even at 10 MHz
and higher.
• Combined function of pin PC1_OUT/PCP_OUT. If pin RB is connected to VCC (no
bias resistor Rbias) pin PC1_OUT/PCP_OUT has its familiar function viz. output of
PC1. If at pin RB a resistor (Rbias) is connected to GND it is assumed that PC2 has
been chosen as phase comparator. Connection of Rbias is sensed by internal circuitry
and this changes the function of pin PC1_OUT/PCP_OUT into a lock detect output
(PCP_OUT) with the same characteristics as PCP_OUT of pin 1 of the 74HCT4046A.

PLL with band gap controlled VCO
• The inhibit function differs. For the 74HCT4046A a HIGH-level at the inhibit input
(pin 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.
8.2 VCO
The VCO requires one external capacitor C1 (between pins C1A and C1B) and one
external resistor R1 (between pins R1 and GND) or two external resistors R1 and R2
(between pins 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 Figure 4).
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 DEM_OUT. The
DEM_OUT voltage equals that of the VCO input. If DEM_OUT is used, a series resistor
(Rs) should be connected from pin DEM_OUT to GND; if unused, DEM_OUT should be
left open. The VCO output (pin VCO_OUT) can be connected directly to the comparator
input (pin COMP_IN), or connected via a frequency divider. The output signal has a duty
cycle of 50 % (maximum expected deviation 1 %), if the VCO input is held at a constant
DC level. A LOW-level at the inhibit input (pin INH) enables the VCO and demodulator,
while a HIGH-level turns both off to minimize standby power consumption.
8.3 Phase comparators
The signal input (pin SIG_IN) can be directly coupled to the self-biasing amplifier at
pin SIG_IN, provided that the signal swing is between the standard HC family input logic
levels. Capacitive coupling is required for signals with smaller swings.
8.3.1 Phase Comparator 1 (PC1)
This circuit is an EXCLUSIVE-OR network. The signal and comparator input frequencies
(fi) must have a 50 % duty cycle to obtain the maximum locking range. The transfer
characteristic of PC1, assuming ripple (fr = 2fi) is suppressed, is:
V CC
V DEM_OUT = ---------- SIG_IN – COMP_IN
where:
VDEM_OUT is the demodulator output at pin DEM_OUT
VDEM_OUT = VPC1_OUT (via low-pass)
V CC
The phase comparator gain is: K p = ---------- V r
The average output voltage from PC1, fed to the VCO input via the low-pass filter and
seen at the demodulator output at pin DEM_OUT (VDEM_OUT), is the resultant of the phase
differences of signals (SIG_IN) and the comparator input (COMP_IN) as shown in
Figure 6. The average of VDEM_OUT is equal to 0.5VCC when there is no signal or noise at
SIG_IN and with this input the VCO oscillates at the center frequency (f0). Typical
waveforms for the PC1 loop locked at f0 are shown in Figure 7. This figure also shows the

actual waveforms across the VCO capacitor at pins C1A and C1B (VC1A and VC1B) to
show the relation between these ramps and the VCO_OUT voltage.
The frequency capture range (2f0) 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 behavior of this type of phase comparator is that it may lock to input
frequencies close to the harmonics of the VCO center frequency.

8.3.2 Phase 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 cycles of
SIG_IN and COMP_IN 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 (see Figure 4) where SIG_IN causes an up-count and COMP_IN 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 Figure 8a.
The pump current Icp is independent from the supply voltage and is set by the internal
band gap reference of 2.5 V.

Phase comparator 2 current and voltage transfer characteristics
When the frequencies of SIG_IN and COMP_IN are equal but the phase of SIG_IN leads
that of COMP_IN, the up output driver at PC2_OUT is held ‘ON’ for a time corresponding
to the phase difference (PC_IN). When the phase of SIG_IN lags that of COMP_IN, the
down or sink driver is held ‘ON’.

74HCT9046A
Nexperia
PLL with band gap controlled VCO
When the frequency of SIG_IN is higher than that of COMP_IN, 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 SIG_IN frequency is lower than the COMP_IN
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_OUT varies until the
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 SIG_IN 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 SIG_IN 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 Figure 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 Rbias. 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 74HCT4046A a relation may show how Rbias
relates with a fictive series resistance, called R3'.
This relation can be derived by assuming first that a voltage controlled switch PC2 of the
74HCT4046A is connected to the filter capacitance C2 via this fictive R3' (see Figure 8b).
Then during the PC2 output pulse the charge current equals:
V CC – V C2 0
I cp = ------------------------------R3'
2.5
With the initial voltage VC2(0) at: 0.5VCC = 2.5 V, I cp = ------R3'
As shown before the charge current of the current switch of the 74HCT9046A is:
2.5
I cp = 17 -----------R bias
Hence:

Using this equivalent resistance R3' for the filter design the voltage can now be expressed
as a transfer function of PC2; assuming ripple (fr = fi) is suppressed, as:
5
K PC2 = ------ V r
4
Again this illustrates the supply voltage independent behavior of PC2.
8.4 Loop filter component selection
Examples of PC2 combined with a passive filter are shown in Figure 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 Figure 13 with series resistance R4 is preferred.
Practical design values for Rbias are between 25 k and 250 k with R3' = 1.5 k
to 15 k for the filter design. Higher values for R3' require lower values for the filter
capacitance which is very advantageous at low values of the loop natural frequency n.

CPD is used to determine the dynamic power dissipation (PD in W).
PD = CPD VCC2 fi N + (CL VCC2 fo) where:
fi = input frequency in MHz;
fo = output frequency in MHz;
CL = output load capacitance in pF;
VCC = supply voltage in V;
N = total load switching outputs;
(CL VCC2 fo) = sum of outputs.
[3]
Applies to the phase comparator section only (pin INH = HIGH). For power dissipation of the VCO and demodulator sections, see
Figure 26, 27 and 28.
[4]
This is the (peak to peak) input sensitivity.
[5]
This is the center frequency tolerance.
[6]
This is the frequency linearity.
[7]
This is the frequency stability with temperature change.

13.2 PLL design example
The frequency synthesizer used in the design example shown in Figure 34 has the
following parameters:
Output frequency: 2 MHz to 3 MHz
Frequency steps: 100 kHz
Settling time: 1 ms
Overshoot: < 20 %
The open loop gain is:
H(s) G(s) = K p K f K o K n
and the closed loop:
u
Kp Kf Ko Kn
------- = ---------------------------------------------------i
1 + Kp Kf Ko Kn
where:
Kp = phase comparator gain
Kf = low-pass filter transfer gain
Ko = Kv/s VCO gain
Kn = 1n divider ratio
The programmable counter ratio Kn can be found as follows:
f OUT
2 MHz
N min = ----------- = -------------------- = 20
f step
100 kHz
f OUT
3 MHz
N max = ----------- = --------------------- = 30
f step
100 kHz
The VCO is set by the values of R1, R2 and C1; R2 = 10 k (adjustable).
The values can be determined using the information in Table 8.
With f0 = 2.5 MHz and fL = 500 kHz this gives the following values (VCC = 5.0 V):
R1 = 30 k
R2 = 30 k
C1 = 100 pF
The VCO gain is:

Using PC2 with the passive filter as shown in Figure 34 results in a high gain loop with the
same performance as a loop with an active filter. Hence loop filter equations as for a high
gain loop should be used. The current source output of PC2 can be simulated then with a
fictive filter resistance:
R bias
R3‘ = -----------17
The transfer functions of the filter is given by:
1 + s 2
K f = ----------------s 2
Where:
1 = R3‘ C2
2 = R4 C2
The characteristic equation is: 1 + K p K f K o K n
This results in:
1 + s 2 K v
1 + K p ----------------- ------ K n = 0
s 1 s
or:
2
2
s + sK p K v K n ----- + K p K v K n 1 = 0
1
This can be written as:
2
2
s + 2 n s + n = 0
with the natural frequency n defined as:
n =
Kp Kv Kn
------------------------------1
and the damping value given as: = 0.5 2 n
In Figure 35 the output frequency response to a step of input frequency is shown.
The overshoot and settling time percentages are now used to determine n.
From Figure 35 it can be seen that the damping ratio = 0.707 will produce an overshoot
of less than 20 % and settle to within 5 % at nt = 5. The required settling time is 1 ms.
This results in:

Rewriting the equation for natural frequency results in:

The maximum overshoot occurs at Nmax = 30; hence Kn = 130:

When C2 = 470 nF, it follows:
1
0.0012
- = 2550
R3‘ = ------- = ------------------------–9
C2
470 10
Hence the current source bias resistance
R bias = 17 2550 = 43 k
With = 0.707 (0.5 2 n) it follows:
0.707
2 = ------------------------- = 0.00028
0.5 5000
2
0.00028
- = 600
R4 = ------- = ------------------------–9
C2
470 10
For extra ripple suppression a capacitor C3 can be connected in parallel with R4, with an
extra 3 = R4 C3.
For stability reasons 3 should be < 0.12, hence C3 < 0.1C2 or C3 = 39 nF.
