LM565 IC Overview

LM565 is basically used in applications where a PLL is required, such as FM demodulation and Signal frequency divider or multiplier. The device has specifically designed highly linear VCO for the low distortion FM demodulation. The device being cheap can be used in applications where cost is considered.

How to use LM565 IC in a Circuit

First let us consider the internal block diagram of the LM565 PLL chip.

In order to understand let us simplify this block diagram further to get the following.

In the device pin 2 and pin3 are inputs where we can connect the input analog signal but usually pin 3 will be grounded and pin2 is used as input.

The input signal goes in to the phase detector along with VCO feedback and this phase detector compares whether both signal are in same phase (or frequency).If they are in phase (or frequency) the PD provides zero voltage output and if phase (or frequency) is present the PD provides positive output voltage.

This output voltage of PD is given to amplifier to amplify the voltage signal and the amplified voltage is given to VCO, which generates waveform whose frequency depends on magnitude of the given input voltage.

Now consider no input is given, under such case the VCO will be in free running mode generating signal whose frequency is determined by the capacitor and resistor connected at the pin 8 and pin 9.

When a signal is given at the input, the frequency of both input signal and the VCO output is compared. And if they are not a match the PD will provide a voltage which is amplified and fed to VCO. The VCO will increase or decrease the signal frequency depending of the fed voltage of amplifier. Once the adjustment is done both the input signal frequency and VCO frequency will match.

This is how a phase locked loop works, the VCO output signal frequency will always tries to keep up with the input signal frequency.
