CD74HC4046AM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the CD74HC4046AM?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the CD74HC4046AM is 2V to 6V.
• How do I ensure the PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) is properly locked in the CD74HC4046AM?
  To ensure the PLL is properly locked, the VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) input frequency should be within the specified range, and the loop filter components should be properly selected to ensure stable operation.
• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD74HC4046AM can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency that the CD74HC4046AM can handle is 20 MHz.
• How do I minimize jitter in the CD74HC4046AM?
  To minimize jitter, use a high-quality clock source, ensure proper power supply decoupling, and minimize noise on the VCO input.
• Can I use the CD74HC4046AM as a standalone oscillator?
  Yes, the CD74HC4046AM can be used as a standalone oscillator by connecting the output of the VCO to the input of the PLL.
