Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid exceeding the specified rating. Latch-Up Avoidance Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up. Switching Frequency The PE43205 has a maximum 25 kHz switching rate. Switching rate is defined to be the speed at which the DSA can be toggled across attenuation states. Switching time is the time duration between the point the control signal reaches 50% of the final value and the point the output signal reaches within 10% or 90% of its target value. Table 5. Attenuation Word Truth Table C1 C2 Attenuation Setting RF1–RF2 L L Reference I.L. H L 6 dB L H 12 dB H H 18 dB Moisture Sensitivity Level The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the PE43205 in the 12-lead 3x3 mm QFN package is MSL1. Exposed Solder Pad Connection The exposed solder pad on the bottom of the package must be grounded for proper device operation. Spurious Performance The typical low-frequency spurious performance of the PE43205 is –135 dBm. Figure 4.

To evaluate the PE43205, apply 3.3V to the VDD header pin and Ground to the GND header pin. The DUT can be controlled two ways: 1. The mechanical switches in conjunction with the VCTL pin can be used. Apply desired control voltage to VCTL header pin. The top mechanical switch controls the 6 dB stage, the bottom mechanical switch controls the 12 dB stage. For each switch, the left position is the 0V condition, while the right position is the VCTRL condition. The middle position leaves the control pin floating. 2. The CTL1 and CTL2 pins on the header can be used. Each pin directly controls the 6 dB and 12 dB stage respectively. The VCTL pin on the header is left open. The mechanical switches may be left uninstalled or must be kept in the middle position. Note: To accurately measure the fast switching performance of the PE43205, C3 and C4 should be removed. PRT-53374 Power-up Control Settings The PE43205 will always power up into the state determined by the voltages on the two control pins. The DSA can be preset to any state within the 18 dB range by pre-setting the parallel control pins prior to power-up. There is a 10 μs delay between the time the DSA is powered-up to the time the desired state is set. If the control pins are left floating during power-up, the device will default to the minimum attenuation setting (insertion loss state). ©2017, 2019 pSemi Corp. All rights reserved.
