Questions about CD4046B PLL

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CD4046B

I have 3 questions about CD4046B

1- the datasheet shows small charts with very poor quality to determine R & C components for design, are there any formulas or calculators I can use to get more accurate values ? I've seen some formulas in one of the app notes but it doesn't include VCC (to my knowledge there's some frequency dependence on VCC)

2- what is the bandwidth of the VCO ? what's the maximum frequency of the control voltage ? 

3- are there any loop stability considerations ? how can you calculate stability parameters (phase margin, gain margin ... etc)

thanks
