D-flipflop Phase detectors - outputs of Qb and Qa?

Mar 05, 2006 3 Replies

If my phase detector for PLL is D-flipflop with Reset, what what the output be when the input B is lagging input A (reference) by 180 to 360 degrees?



Assume the inputs have same on time (e.g. 5ns) and same period (e.g.



10ns) and the unput A is leading input B by 7.5ns (270 degrees). Should the output Qa stay on until the output Qb goes on, or should it go off after 5ns and then go on after another 5ns, so both outputs would be reset.

Thanks, Vitaliy

Do not post copies of your question in multiple newsgroups. Pick one.

i think it should be no pulse output and if its designed like think it is ? you will only get a pulse output when one freq is just behind the other! other wise no pulse at all! this makes sure that correction is performed only in one direction. this is the same logic used when taking the A and B output from an incremental encoder to detect direction of rotation!, one way will generate a pulse and the other direction will generation no pulses. the pulse that is generated is the time width of when A and B happen to be one at the same time which is usually 25% duty cycle . in the case of PLL's this duty cycle varies depending on how far out of lock it is.

Real Programmers Do things like this. http://webpages.charter.net/jamie_5

You might be talking about frequency detector, which might be different. Here is my lab manual (labs 3 and 4).
