Application Information

This information is a guide for the approximation of values of

external components to be used with the ’HC4046A and

’HCT4046A in a phase-lock-loop system.

References should be made to Figures 11 through 15 and

Figures 27 through 32 as indicated in the table.

Values of the selected components should be within the

following ranges:
