LM1391 Phase-Locked Loop Analogue TV 40V 30mA IC PDIP-8
The LM1391 is a specialized analogue phase-locked loop (PLL) IC engineered primarily for the horizontal section of television receivers. It integrates a stable voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a linear pulse phase detector, and a driver whose duty cycle can be varied by DC control. An internal active regulator improves supply rejection, while the output transistor provides low saturation and a high voltage swing suitable for direct interfacing with deflection and timing circuitry.
It supports automatic pulse control (APC) of the oscillator synchronized to incoming sync signals and yields a typical pull-in around 300 Hz with a hold-in up to 900 Hz, delivering robust lock performance. The balanced linear phase detector and low thermal frequency drift minimize static phase error, while adjustable DC loop gain lets designers tune transient response and stability for different receiver topologies.
Physically available in an 8-pin PDIP, the LM1391 includes application-friendly options such as an uncommitted output-collector pin for flexible interfacing and a regulator output for internal biasing. Typical uses are TV horizontal processors and low-frequency PLL tasks requiring precise timing and adjustable duty-cycle outputs. Its modest supply current and high-voltage output capability make it suitable for many legacy and industrial analogue systems worldwide.
