DO NOT BUILD This circuit has serious design issues rendering it virtually useless. The biggest problem is that the sensor input circuit’s filter time-constant is greater than the PLL frequency, causing it to never detect lock. It comes closer to working without C2 and C7 installed, but even then has such a small window of detection that it’s useless.
A better variation would be to remove C2 and C7, ditch the entire HC7046 PLL and 74LVC1G123 debounce circuit, tie the input side of R8 and R15 to +5V, and just use the 74HCT14 output signals directly. But that basically means throw this board away and just use the sensors with a couple of schmitt trigger inputs for filtering.
For a usable version of this circuit, see the original Modulated Reflectivity Sensor Driver instead.
