=================================================================== HCMOS PHASE-LOCKED LOOP DESIGN PROGRAM Revised and updated version 2.0 for HC/HCT4046/7046A and HCT9046A. ================================================================== The PLL design tool enables you to design a complete HCMOS-based PLL including peripheral components. It's for use with Philips' 74HC/HCT4046A,7046A and 74HCT9046A HCMOS circuits, but it can also be used to evaluate and modify existing designs, for example with the HEF4046. In this revised version 2.0, a choice for PLL loop parameters can be made between the HC/HCT4046/7046A and the new HCT9046A type with improved bandgap controlled VCO and charge pump current output on PC2 to avoid any dead zone operation. Besides giving you an approximation of a loop's complete dynamic behaviour, the program can generate a Bode plot to check loop stability. All calculations are done with equations which are derived for high-gain loops and most of them can be found in literature, e.g. in 'Phaselock techniques', Wiley, New York, 1979, Mr.Floyd Gardner and in 'Phase-locked loops', McGraw-Hill, New-York, 1984, Mr. Roland Best. By eliminating much of the calculation drudgery of PLL design, the program invites you to experiment but will still reduce design time. This program is tailored to the Philips 74HC/HCT4046A/7046A and HCT9046A devices and does not guarantee that other brands of '4046 will respond as calculated by this program. The program runs on every PC-DOS or MS-DOS compatible PC with a colour or monochrome monitor. To benefit from all the features of the program, a graphics card and/or an EPSON or IBM compatible printer is needed, but these are not essential. The following graphic cards or compatibles are supported : - CGA - EGA - HERCULES - VGA - PC3270 - SVGA/XVGA - MCGA To obtain the design program, download PLL.ZIP from this web site and use PKUNZIP to decompress the files. View the readme file and follow the instructions to load the files onto your hard drive. You should also obtain the PLL design guide manual for the HC(T)4046A/7046A/9046A which has more detailed design information.
