This application note discusses phase frequency detector characteristics that affect phase-locked loop (PLL) dead band and jitter performance. In PLLs that employ charge pump loop filter designs the ...
Whilst poring over 4046 phase locked loop data sheets, I noticed yet another subtle useful difference between the the later faster 74HC4046 (diag from NXP data sheet) and the earlier slower CD4046.
One of the most challenging tasks in analog circuit design is to adapt a functional block to ever new CMOS process technology. For digital circuits the number of gates per square mm approx. doubles ...
