Abstract

See full text

A phase lock loop monitors a first digital signal and generates a second digital signal operating substantially at frequency and in-phase with the first digital signal. The first and second digital signal are applied to a lock detection circuit for generating a first digital output signal having a first logic state from a mutually exclusive combination of the first and second digital signals. The first logic state of the first digital output signal is compared with a time slot window formed by a control signal for generating a true lock detection signal when the first logic state of the first digital output signal occurs within the time slot window and a false lock detection signal when the first logic state of the first digital output signal occurs outside the time slot window.
