ABSTRACT:
A phase detector circuit (10) for generating an analog signal (VR) dependent upon the phase difference between two digital signals (VE, VA) includes two NOR circuits (20, 27) to the inputs (18, 26; 28, 24) of which the two digital signals are supplied on the one hand delayed and negated and on the other directly. The output signals of the NOR circuits (20, 27) control two current sources (S1, S2), one of which in the activated state furnishes a constant charge current (I1) for a storage capacitor (C) whilst the other of which leads a constant discharge current (I2) of equal magnitude away from said storage capacitor (C). The charge voltage at said storage capacitor (C) is an analog signal (VR) which represents a measure of the phase deviation between the digital signals (VE, VA).
