AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for a PLL IC to use as a frequency synthesizer and is curious about the function of a two-input phase detector. It is clarified that a PLL requires two inputs to generate a phase error signal, with one input typically being the VCO output. The discussion mentions the MB15U10, which features two PLL circuits for separate transmission and reception. Additionally, the NE565 PLL chip is suggested as a classic option, and the 4030 MOSFET quad is noted as a digital PLL phase detector. Understanding the role of multiple inputs in phase detection is essential for effective frequency synthesis.

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.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
