Abstract
A burst locked phase locked loop (PLL) includes a relatively wide-band voltage controlled oscillator. This PLL may erroneously lock at a frequency which differs form the frequency of burst by an amount equal to the horizontal line frequency. To prevent this side-locking condition, the PLL includes circuitry which changes the frequency of the signal produced by the VCO when the number of cycles of the signal provided by the PLL during one horizontal line interval corresponds to the number which would be obtained in a side-lock condition.
