The MC74HC4046ADT operates based on the principles of a phase-locked loop (PLL). It compares the phase and frequency of an input reference signal with that of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) output. The phase comparator generates an error signal, which is filtered and fed into the VCO to adjust its frequency. This feedback mechanism ensures that the VCO output remains locked to the reference signal, providing accurate frequency synthesis and synchronization.
