2.2 PLL1
The PLL1 consists of a phase comparator, an ex-
ternal filter and a voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO).The phase comparator is a “phase/frequen-
cy” type designed in CMOS technology. This kind
of phase detector avoids locking on wrong fre-
quencies. It is followed by a “charge pump”, com-
posed of two current sources : sunk and sourced
(typically I =1 mA when locked and I = 140 µA
when unlocked). This difference between lock/un-
lock allows smooth catching of the horizontal fre-
quency by PLL1. This effect is reinforced by an in-
ternal original slow down system when PLL1 is
locked, avoiding the horizontal frequency chang-
ing too quickly. The dynamic behavior of PLL1 is
fixed by an external filter which integrates the cur-
rent of the charge pump. A “CRC” filter is generally
used (see Figure 7 on page 25).

The PLL1 is internally inhibited during extracted
vertical sync (if any) to avoid taking in account
missing pulses or wrong pulses on phase compa-
rator. Inhibition is obtained by stopping high and
low signals at the input of the charge pump block
(see Figure 8 on page 25).
