CD74HC7046AM96

Texas Instruments · Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers · SOIC-16

CD74HC7046AM96 from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 LD output Lock Detector Output (active high) gives a HIGH level when the PLL is locked.
2 PC1OUT output Phase Comparator 1 output (Exclusive-OR network) is low-pass filtered to form the VCO control voltage at DEMOUT.
3 COMPIN input Comparator input receives the VCO output, either directly or through a frequency divider, and is compared with SIGIN.
4 VCOOUT output VCO output has a specified duty factor of 50% and can be connected directly to COMPIN or via a frequency divider.
5 INH input Inhibit input: a LOW level enables the VCO, and a HIGH level disables the VCO to minimize standby power consumption.
6 C1A passive Connection A for external capacitor C1 (between C1A and C1B), which together with R1 determines the VCO frequency range.
7 C1B passive Connection B for external capacitor C1 (between C1A and C1B), which together with R1 determines the VCO frequency range.
8 GND power_in Ground (0V) reference; the lock detector capacitor is connected between CLD (pin 15) and this pin.
9 VCOIN input VCO input has high input impedance, which simplifies low-pass filter design by not loading the filter.
10 DEMOUT output Demodulator output equals the VCO input voltage; if used, a load resistor RS should be connected from DEMOUT to Gnd, and if unused it should be left open.
11 R1 passive Resistor R1 connection, to Gnd, which together with C1 determines the VCO frequency range.
12 R2 passive Resistor R2 connection, to Gnd, which enables a VCO frequency offset if required.
13 PC2OUT tri_state Phase Comparator 2 three-state output of the positive edge-triggered phase and frequency detector, filtered to form the VCO control voltage.
14 SIGIN input Signal input is self-biased and can be directly coupled to signals within the HC input logic levels, or capacitively coupled for smaller swings.
15 CLD passive Lock detector capacitor input; the capacitor is connected between CLD and Gnd, about 1000pF for 100kHz and 10pF for 10MHz.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage: 3V to 6V for the VCO section and 2V to 6V for the digital section.
