Beside the input and output buffers (and the additional filter, which
can be seen as separate module) the A-196 is the rough 4046 PLL-chip.
The 4046 is the most wide spread PLL chip in the industry, so I strongly
assume, there are possibilities to use it as a steady tracker. I doubt
that the automatisation industry has as larger interest in chaotic
behaviour.

I think it is not ok, to excuse my own incompetence by an alleged fault
of the module.
