description
The CD74ACT297 device is designed to provide a simple, cost-effective solution to high-accuracy, digital,
phase-locked-loop applications. These devices contain all the necessary circuits, with the exception of the
divide-by-N counter, to build first-order phase-locked loops as described in Figure 1.
Bothexclusive-OR(XORPD)andedge-controlled(ECPD)phasedetectorsareprovidedformaximumflexibility.
Proper partitioning of the loop function, with many of the building blocks external to the package, makes it easy
for the designer to incorporate ripple cancellation or to cascade to higher order phase-locked loops.
The length of the up/down K counter is digitally programmable according to the K-counter function table. With
A, B, C, and D all low, the K counter is disabled. With A high and B, C, and D low, the K counter is only three
stages long, which widens the bandwidth or capture range and shortens the lock time of the loop. When A, B,
C, and D are programmed high, the K counter becomes 17 stages long, which narrows the bandwidth or capture
range and lengthens the lock time. Real-time control of loop bandwidth by manipulating the A-through-D inputs
can maximize the overall performance of the digital phase-locked loop.
This device performs the classic first-order phase-locked-loop function without using analog components. The

solely on accuracies of the K clock, I/D clock, and loop propagation delays. The I/D clock frequency and the
divide-by-N modulos determine the center frequency of the DPLL. The center frequency is defined by the
relationship f = I/D clock/2N (Hz).

The CD74ACT297 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
