(A5lC3A, lCiB).
Each
OR NOR
gate
splits
the
phase
of
the ircoming
signal
and
provides
trvo outputs that
are
equal
in
amplitude and
lE0
degrees
out of
phase.
These
outputs
are used
to
trigger
the
two J-K
flip
flops (lC7A,
ICTB)
that
sewe
as phase
detectors
and are also applied
to
the

(IC.1

are
discussed
in
