In summary, the conversation discusses the use of a PLL IC as a frequency synthesizer and the meaning of a 2-input phase detector. The purpose of a PLL is to obtain a phase error signal through two inputs, and there are various PLL ICs available, such as the MB15U10 and NE565. The MB15U10 has two PLL circuits for transmission and reception, while the NE565 is a classic PLL chip. The conversation also mentions the use of a 4030 MOSFET quad 2-input exclusive OR as a digital phase detector.

hi
any one can tell me aname of a PLL IC so i can use as afrequency synthesizer?
also please tell me how it works and the meaning of 2 input phase detector as there is an ic which has aspecification of 2 input phase detector
thanks so much for your patiencs and help

sorry you misunderstood me
i mean that there is aphase detector of 2 inputs beside the output of the VCO
i know that apll compares acertain input frequency with the frequency of vco and the diffrence or error is amplified and filterd so as to be applied as an input to the vco
so on;y one input exists with the output of vco
but i saw ics which have 2 inputs beside the feed back signal and i don't know what is it ?

You mean something like this?

[QUOTE]The MB15U10 has two PLL frequency synthesizer circuits on a single chip: one for transmission and the other for reception (PLL1 and PLL2).[/QUOTE]

I've never heard of a phase detector with 3 inputs if that is what you are wondering.

Which IC is it that you noticed 2 inputs to the phase detector besides the VCO? I'd like a part# so I could look up a data sheet.
 

FAQ: Find a Frequency Synthesizer IC & Learn its Basics

What is a frequency synthesizer IC?

A frequency synthesizer IC is a type of integrated circuit that is used to generate precise, stable frequencies for use in electronic devices. It is often used in communication systems, such as radios and cell phones, to produce a specific frequency for transmitting and receiving signals.

How does a frequency synthesizer IC work?

A frequency synthesizer IC works by taking an input frequency and using a combination of frequency dividers, phase detectors, and a voltage-controlled oscillator to produce an output frequency that is a multiple of the input frequency. This allows for precise control and adjustment of the output frequency.

What are the key components of a frequency synthesizer IC?

The key components of a frequency synthesizer IC include a phase-locked loop (PLL), a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), and frequency dividers. The PLL is responsible for comparing the input frequency to the desired output frequency and adjusting the VCO accordingly. The frequency dividers are used to divide the VCO output frequency to achieve the desired output frequency.

What are the advantages of using a frequency synthesizer IC?

The use of a frequency synthesizer IC offers several advantages, including high accuracy and stability of the output frequency, flexibility in generating different frequencies, and the ability to easily adjust the output frequency. It also allows for smaller and more compact circuit designs compared to using discrete components for frequency generation.

How can I learn more about frequency synthesizer ICs?

There are many resources available for learning more about frequency synthesizer ICs. You can start by researching online or reading books on the topic. Additionally, many manufacturers offer datasheets and application notes for their specific frequency synthesizer ICs, which can provide more in-depth information on their operation and usage. You can also attend workshops or seminars on frequency synthesizers, or consult with experienced engineers in the field.
