Abstract
A phase detector circuit having four dominant type flip-flop circuits and at least one logic gate. The phase detector circuit is responsive to changes of two input signals, and produces output signals related to the relative phase of the input signals having duty cycle. The output signals have a predetermined level only for the period the phases of the input signals differ. When the phases of the input signals are the same, the output signals of the phase detector circuit will be at another level.
Claims5
A phase detector circuit comprising:
- two input terminals at which input signals are applied;
- two output terminals at which output signals relative to the phases of the input signals are produced;
- a first dominant type flip-flop circuit connected to one input terminal and whose output signal is transferred to one output terminal;
- a second dominant type flip-flop circuit connected to the other input terminal and whose output signal is transferred to the other output terminal;
- a third flip-flop circuit connected to one input terminal and whose output signal is transferred to the first dominant type flip-flop circuit;
- a fourth flip-flop circuit connected to the other input terminal and whose output signal is transferred to the second dominant type flip-flop circuit;
- gate means for receiving the output signals of the first and second dominant type flip-flop circuits and whose output signal is applied to the third and fourth flip-flop circuits.
