Internal phase comparison
The EXT-HD signal and the MCK-frequency-divided HD (MCK-HD) signal are phase-compared inside the
CXD3172AR, and the result of the comparison is output through PCOMP (pin 42). The PCOMP signal is
applied to the LPF (H-PLL) and fed back to the VCXO circuit on the MCK side to form the horizontal direction
PLL. The polarity of the PCOMP signal may be switched using PCMPINV (CAT7_Byte2_bit4).
An active or passive filter can be selected, to match the specifications of the external LPF. Note that we
recommend an active filter since active filters have better performance.

board.) Apply a trigger to EXT-HD and look at the PCOMP output waveform to check whether the lock is on.
