[time-nuts] 4046 replacement

[donald collie]

Thankyou Attila. I remember reading a book on PLL theory, recently,writen
by a very knowledgable fellow, but I didn`t think to make a copy of his
critique of the 4046. I recall that the nub of it was that the 4046 isn`t
suitable for some applications because of a design flaw. Perhaps somebody
in this group could explain further.
Thankyou Bill, for the datasheet on the 74HCT9046, and your comments
Cheers!..............................................................................Don
