voltage. PD_UB pulses result in an increase in
VCO frequency and PD_DB results in a decrease
in VCO frequency.
A lock detect output, LD is also provided, via the
pin Cext. Cext is the logical “NAND” of PD_
UB
and PD_DB waveforms, which is driven through a
series 2k ohm resistor. Connecting Cext to an
external shunt capacitor provides integration.
Cext also drives the input of an internal inverting
comparator with an open drain output. Thus LD is
an “AND” function of PD_
UB and PD_DB. See
Figure 6 for a functional block diagram of this
circuit.
Enhancement Register
The functions of the enhancement register bits are shown below with all bits active “high”.

Phase Detector
The phase detector is triggered by rising edges
from the main Counter (fp) and the reference
counter (fc). It has two outputs, namely PD_UB,
and PD_DB . If the divided VCO leads the divided
reference in phase or frequency (fp leads fc),
PD_DB pulses “low”. If the divided reference
leads the divided VCO in phase or frequency (fr
leads fp), PD_UB pulses “low”. The width of either
pulse is directly proportional to phase offset
between the two input signals, fp and fc. The
phase detector gain is 430 mV / radian.
PD_
UB and PD_DB are designed to drive an
active loop filter which controls the VCO tune
