To allow for control direction changes introduced by the
design of the PLL, pin 23 can be programmed to reverse the
control direction of the loop by transposing the F
pd
and F
ref
connections. In order that any external phase detector will also
be reversed by this function, the F
pd
and F
ref
outputs are also
interchanged as shown in Table 2.

The Fpd and Fref signals to the phase detector are available
on pin 24 and 25 and may be used to monitor the frequency
input to the phase detector or used in conjunction with an
external phase detector. When the Fpd/Fref outputs are to be
used at high frequencies, an external pull down resistor of
minimum value 330
may be used connected to ground to
reduce the fall time of the output pulse.
The charge pump connections to the loop amplifier consist
of the charge pump output and the charge pump reference.
The matching of the charge pump up and down currents will
only be maintained if the charge pumps output is held at a
voltage equal to the charge pump reference using an
operational amplifier to produce a virtual earth condition at pin
20.
The lock detect circuit can drive an LED to give visual
indication of phase lock or provide an indication to the control
system if a pull-up resistor is used in place of the LED. A small
capacitor connected from the C-lock detector pin to ground
may be used to delay lock detect indication and remove
glitches produced by momentary phase coincidence during
lock up. The phase detector can be disabled by pulling pin 39
to logic low.
