How to determine if PLL 4046 is locked?
(1/9) > >>
ZeroResistance:
I am trying a Class E amplier with a PLL 4046. I see certain a half sine wave across the resonant capacitor, but I have no idea if the PLL is working as intended, bascally I plan to make a small dielectric heater, and I want to keep the gate pulses in phase with the sine wave output, that is always switch on the mosfet at zero voltage / zero current even if the load capacitor varies.
I have attached my circuit and some oscilloscope waveforms.

Thanks for the reference, additionally whats bugging me is the feedack that I derive from the tank capacitor then give it via current limiting resistor to the diodes (1N4148). I was expecting a square wave here between 0 to 15V but I get quite low level over there.

Here's another TI appnote. See Figure 15. http://www.ti.com/lit/an/scha002a/scha002a.pdf
