There are techniques to reduce the dead-band, some of which are the subject 
of patents by Analog Devices.  ADI's patents cover a particular combination 
of PFD and XOR phase detector, such that the PFD pulls the loop into 
frequency lock and the XOR multiplier maintains phase lock.  The jitter 
performance of the ADI solution can be much better than alternatives, the 
most common of which is an intentional phase offset.  Both techniques 
suffer from jitter susceptibility to power supply noise.

There are also other techniques that I own that allow for 0 phase offset 
and very low jitter.  In the case of either ADI, or my methods, a license 
is required.

If you are looking for public domain, you can find clues in titles by 
either Gardner, or Best.

Regards,


Steve.
