CD4046BM/CD4046BC Micropower Phase-Locked Loop
General Description
The CD4046B micropower phase-locked loop (PLL) con-
sists of a low power, linear, voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO), a source follower, a zener diode, and two phase
comparators. The two phase comparators have a common
signal input and a common comparator input. The signal
input can be directly coupled for a large voltage signal, or
capacitively coupled to the self-biasing amplifier at the sig-
nal input for a small voltage signal.
The INHIBIT input, when high, disables the VCO and source
follower to minimize standby power consumption. The zener
diode is provided for power supply regulation, if necessary.

shifts at the VCO center frequency. Between signal input
and comparator input (both at 50% duty cycle), it may lock
onto the signal input frequencies that are close to harmon-
ics of the VCO center frequency.

Applications
Phase comparator II is an edge-controlled digital memory
network. It provides a digital error signal (phase comp. II
Out) and lock-in signal (phase pulses) to indicate a locked
condition and maintains a 0 phase shift between signal in-

put and comparator input.

The linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) produces an
output signal (VCO Out) whose frequency is determined by
the voltage at the VCO input, and the capacitor and resis-
IN
tors connected to pin C1 , C1 , R1 and R2.
