A phase and frequency detector includes a first flip-flop triggered by a pulse wave from a reference source, and a second flip-flop triggered by a pulse wave from a voltage-controlled oscillator. Gate means couple outputs of the flip-flops back to reset inputs of the flip-flops so that one of the flip-flops generates pulses having widths proportional to the phase difference of the first and second pulse waves. The gate means inhibits the resetting of the triggered flip-flop when the pulses of the first and second pulse waves do not overlap, so that the triggered flip-flop then generates a continuous output useful for rapidly correcting the frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator.
