Question : In the 74HCT9046BCN - does a high on the inhibit line Knobble
the P/F detectors as well as the VCO?

Thankyou to all who responded to my querie - I`ve got 5 74HCT9046BCN on a
slow boat from China. They will retrofit the projects where I used a 4046
without much pcb surgery. PLL`s are fun, especially when yo can watch them
lock on a Tek 7834 :-) I interloaned the weighty tome again, and am

I have 4 frequency synthesiser projects, each using HEF4046BCN`s, but have
recently read that this CMOS IC has a design flaw. What would be a better
chip to retrofit? I`m thinking perhaps a HEF74HC4046AN [that`s if it
doesn`t have the same bug], or a 74HC7046AN - which is similar. Both these
chips
f the same antenna. You

I`ve just bought two GPSDO`s from China @ US$9-50 each [This is not an
error!] They are stated as being new, and use a Trimball dual oven OCXO. I
plan to run these in parallel [2 antennas, 2 feedlines, and 2 GPSDO`s] It`s
been said that a man with two watches is never happy - unless, of course,
the
Wien bridge and bridged T oscillators often use a thermistor [lamp] to
set the amplitude below saturation, for low distortion, but i`ve seen the
diode AGC method used.
Conversely, you could use a thermistor to set the output of a crystal or
L/C oscillator. One other method seems to be to let the

Does any limiter, soft or hard, [and perhaps any nonlinearity of power
term 3 or greater in the amplifier of an oscillator] cause the "baseband
1/f noise to translate up to the resonator frequency [a form of
crossmodulation]?. I wonder this because
phase noise vs freq plots look a bit like the 1/f
So to be lowest noise, an oscillator should have the highest Q resonator
possible in its feedback loop, operate in class "A" [for maximum
linearity], and utilise active amplifier device(s) that contribute the
least noise [both amplitude, or 1/f], and phase. This latter implies
operating the active
