Here , a divide by N network is inserted between the VCO output (pin 4) and the phase comparator input (pin 5). Since the output of the divider is locked to the input frequency fi, the VCO is actually running at a multiple of the input frequency. Therefore, in the locked state, the VCO output frequency fo is given by,

By selecting proper divider by N network, we can obtain desired multiplication. For example, to obtain output frequency fo = 6 fi ,a divide by N should be equal to 6.
