PLL not locking after CPLD change
I am currently working on a redesign of one of my older PCBs. On this PCB there is a HEF4046BT used as a PLL. I needed to exchange the CPLD, which is used as a frequency divider between the ports ...

How do I connect a PLL sensor on transformer output with two secondary windings to a diode rectifier load?
Background: I am working on a project of modernizing a system for a lead acid battery charger. I will do this with a Vienna rectifier, that needs the current angle, that I get from a PLL, for control. ...

Why is time constant of PLL by rule of thumb higher than the reference period?
Why do we generally say that the time constant of a PLL (\$\tau\$) must be 10 to 5 times higher than the \$T_{\rm IN}\$ of our reference frequency?
