CD4046BM from HGSEMI, in a SOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 PHASE_PULSES output Phase pulses output from Phase Comparator II. Provides a lock-in indication signal (high when PLL is not locked, in the tri-state region of comparator II). CMOS output referenced to VDD/VSS.
2 PHASE_COMP_I_OUT output Phase Comparator I output (exclusive-OR gate). Provides a digital error signal that maintains a 90° phase shift between SIGNAL_IN and COMPARATOR_IN at the VCO center frequency. CMOS output driven rail-to-rail.
3 COMPARATOR_IN input Common comparator input for Phase Comparator I and II. Typically driven by the VCO output (directly or via an external divide-by-N). High-impedance CMOS input (~10^6 MΩ typ.).
4 VCO_OUT output Voltage-controlled oscillator output. Square-wave (~50% duty cycle) whose frequency is set by VCOIN, C1 (across pins 6-7), R1 (pin 11) and R2 (pin 12). Typical transition time 45-90 ns depending on VDD.
5 INHIBIT input Active-high inhibit input. When high, disables the VCO and source follower to minimize standby power consumption; when low (tied to VSS), VCO and source follower are enabled.
6 C1A passive VCO timing capacitor terminal A. Connect external timing capacitor C1 (≥ 50 pF) between C1A (pin 6) and C1B (pin 7) to set the VCO frequency together with R1 and R2.
7 C1B passive VCO timing capacitor terminal B. Return side of the external timing capacitor C1 (≥ 50 pF) that sets the VCO frequency in combination with R1 and R2.
8 VSS power_in Negative supply / ground reference (0 V). All input and output voltages are referenced to VSS. Total supply (VDD - VSS) must be within 3.0 V to 18 V (abs. max), 3 V to 15 V recommended.
9 VCO_IN input VCO control-voltage input (demodulator/loop-filter input). Very high input impedance (~10^6 MΩ typ.). Driven by the loop filter fed from a phase comparator output; the voltage on this pin sets the VCO frequency between fMIN and fMAX.
10 DEMODULATOR_OUT output Source-follower output of the VCOIN voltage. Provides a buffered replica of the VCO control voltage for FM-demodulation output. Must be loaded with an external resistor RS ≥ 10 kΩ to VSS; offset from VCOIN is typ. 1.5 V.
11 R1 passive External VCO timing resistor R1 terminal (connect R1 between this pin and VSS). Sets the VCO center frequency; R1 ≥ 10 kΩ recommended.
12 R2 passive External VCO offset resistor R2 terminal (connect R2 between this pin and VSS, or leave open for no offset). Sets the VCO frequency offset (fMIN); R2 ≥ 10 kΩ when used.
13 PHASE_COMP_II_OUT tri_state Phase Comparator II output. Edge-controlled digital memory network providing a three-state (high / low / high-Z) error signal that drives the loop filter and maintains 0° phase shift between signal and comparator inputs when locked.
14 SIGNAL_IN input Signal input to both phase comparators. Can be DC-coupled for large-swing signals or AC-coupled (via CSERIES) to the internal self-biasing amplifier for small signals (typ. sensitivity 200 mV at VDD = 5 V, 700 mV at VDD = 15 V with 1000 pF series coupling).
15 ZENER passive Internal zener diode cathode, used for optional supply regulation. VZ = 7.0 V typ. (6.3-7.7 V) at IZ = 50 µA, dynamic resistance RZ ≈ 100 Ω at IZ = 1 mA. Leave open if not used.
16 VDD power_in Positive supply voltage. 3.0 V to 18 V (abs. max), 3 V to 15 V recommended. Bypass to VSS with a local ceramic capacitor.
