The input only furnishes information 24 times a second (48 if you can
use both edges) so it doesn't much matter what the oscillator
frequency is. The VCO could be 60KHz and the loop dynamics wouldn't be
any better.

Granted, 24 is twice as good as 12. So you could run the VCO at 120,
and then divide by 5 to get 24 for the pll, and also divide by 2 to
get the 60.

The phase:frequency detector in the 4046 is edge sensitive, so duty
cycle doesn't matter if you use that one.

John's last paragraph is absolutely correct... Ron Treadway and I
designed it to be that way :-P

Really?

I loved the 4046 and used it in several designs.

So how come you put that stupid deadband in there? ;)

That's a mismatched delay issue. Later versions have that "fixed" by
overlapping the U/D outputs.
