Abstract
A phase lock loop monitors a first digital signal and generates a second digital signal operating substantially at frequency and in-phase with the first digital signal. The first and second digital signals are applied to a lock detection circuit for providing a lock detection signal when the first and second digital input signals have a first logic state at a first transition of a control signal and a second logic state at a second transition of the control signal. One false lock triggers an out-of-phase status indicator. The lock detection signal must return to a valid state for a predetermined number of periods before the phase lock status indicates a valid lock condition. The first and second digital input signals may operate with a non-50% duty cycle.
