Abstract

A phase lock loop (PLL) circuit which includes an input for inputting an incoming signal which is to be tracked, a phase lock loop subcircuit, a phase state indicator subcircuit, and a synchronized blanking window generator. These elements create a phase lock loop circuit capable of producing a stable output which closely tracks the incoming signal, even when the incoming signal shifts in phase by 180 degrees. The phase state indicator subcircuit detects a phase reversal in the incoming signal and outputs a signal indication such. This indicating signal is used by the phase lock loop subcircuit to produce a stable reference signal tracking the incoming signal most of the time. However, during a short period of time between the inversion of the incoming signal and the output of the indicating signal by the phase state indicator subcircuit, the synchronized blanking window generator provides a signal to the phase lock loop subcircuit which is used to stabilize the reference signal.
