ABSTRACT:
A digital phase/frequency detector circuit in a phase locked loop comprises a logic gate interconnected with a pair of bistable devices clocked respectively by input and reference digital signals to generate a square wave having a duty ratio corresponding to the phase/frequency difference between the two signals. The duty ratio of the square wave sweeps repetitively between minimum and maximum values as the phase/frequency difference changes monotonically. The square wave is integrated to obtain a repetitive sawtooth. To increase the range, circuitry is provided to provide a constant level signal when the peak of a sawtooth is approached and to reset the bistable devices to provide a multiple of the earlier range.
