Hello Samuel,

Well, I just got done designing and building the very same thing. If I recall correctly it is the same as the HC4046 which is 4 MHz. The 9046 VCO will only go up to 20 MHz absolute maximum. So you will need an external oscillator and dividers.

Hi,

I'm about to implement a PLL for a 24.576 MHz VCXO using the phase-frequency 
detector (PC2) of the NXP 74HCT9046A. From the datasheet 
(www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/74HCT9046A.pdf) it is not clear to me what 
the maximum operating frequency for this phase detector is--from the enable and 
disable times (page 20 and figure 19) I presume 24.576 MHz is too much.

So I probably need to add dividers at the inputs. Can someone advise me on the 
choice of division ratio?

Thanks for your time,
Samuel
