Abstract

See full text

A phase comparator accepts two streams of digital pulses, one being a reference signal and the other a test signal, and generates an output signal indicative of the phase difference. The phase comparator can be implemented as a four-state device or higher, and thus exhibits a wide phase capture range, i.e. multiples of 360.degree., and can provide a stable, predictable and linear output signal when the two input signals are in lock. It is therefore very suitable for use in a phase locked loop in which temporary wide variations in phase can occur.
