In a specific application I should compare the phase/frequency of two signals and make a voltage proportional to their phase/frequency difference. I want to connect this signal to the input of a VCSO. I=92ve XORed these signals and then connected them to the inputs of an Op-Amp but I=92m looking for a better way.

Do you mean VCXO?
Better how?
What are you really trying to do?

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.

Thanks Tim, I=92m trying to transmit STM64 over OTN using AMCC OTN wrapper. The AMCC S19203 divides input and output stream frequency and gives them to feed an external PLL. I should compare the phase of these signals and make the output stream reference clock. The output frequency of dividers is 50MHz. I=92ve opted VS751 to make the desired reference clock. The VS751 give an input voltage (proportional to the phase difference) to control the output frequency. Now I want to know how to make a voltage proportional to the phase difference.
Do some web searches on PLL techniques. Or get a book -- I like this one:

but that's just because I took the class from Dr. Wolaver. Just about any good PLL book will get you there.
The phase-frequency detector that John Fields suggested is probably a good place to start.
