Product Specification PE9301 Product Description The PE9301 is a high performance monolithic UltraCMOS™ prescaler with a fixed divide ratio of 2. Its operating frequency range is 1500 MHz to 3500 MHz. The PE9301 operates on a nominal 3 V supply and draws only 13 mA. It is packaged in a small 8-lead CSOIC and is ideal for Space microwave PLL synthesis solutions. The PE9301 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™ process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS. 3500 MHz Low Power UltraCMOS™ Divide-by-2 Prescaler Rad-hard for Space Applications Features • High-frequency operation: 1500 MHz to 3500 MHz • Fixed divide ratio of 2 • Low-power operation: 13 mA typical @ 3 V across frequency • Small package: 8-lead SOIC • Low Cost Figure 1.

Pin Configuration VDD 1 8 GND OUT Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions When handling this UltraCMOS™ device, observe the same precautions that you would use with other ESD-sensitive devices. Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid exceeding the rating specified in Table 3.

No connection. This pin should be left open. Divided frequency output pin. This pin should be coupled with a capacitor (eg 47 pF). Ground Pin. Device Functional Considerations The PE9301 takes an input signal frequency from between 1.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz and produces an output signal frequency half that of the supplied input. In order for the prescaler to work properly, several conditions need to be adhered to. It is crucial that pin 3 be supplied with a bypass capacitor to ground. In addition, the input and output signals (pins 2 & 7, respectively) need to be AC coupled via an external capacitor as shown in Figure 5. The ground pattern on the board should be made as wide as possible to minimize ground impedance. 3 DEC 4 GND 5 6 7 8 GND NC OUT GND Table 3.

On this board, the device input (pin 2) is connected to the SMA connector J1 through a 50 Ω transmission line. A series capacitor (C3) provides the necessary DC block for the device input. A value of 1000 pF was used for the evaluation board; other applications may require a different value. It is also possible to place a 0 Ω resistor in this location for very low frequency applications. The device output (pin 7) is connected to SMA connector J3 through a 50 Ω transmission line. A series capacitor (C1) provides the necessary DC block for the device output. This capacitor value must be chosen to have a low impedance at the desired output frequency of the device. A value of 1000 pF was chosen for the evaluation board. The board is constructed of a two-layer FR4 material with a total thickness of 0.031”. The bottom layer provides ground for the RF transmission lines. The transmission lines were designed using a coplanar waveguide above ground plane model with trace width of 0.030”, trace gaps of 0.0061”, dielectric thickness of 0.028”, metal thickness of 0.0014”, and εr of 4.6. Note that the predominate mode of these transmission lines is coplanar waveguide. J2 provides DC power to the device via pin 1. Two decoupling capacitors (C2=100 pF, C10=1000 pF) are included on this trace. It is the responsibility of the customer to determine proper supply decoupling for their design application. Figure 6.
