Product Description
The PE46140 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced monolithic phase and amplitude controller (MPAC) designed
for precise phase and amplitude control of two independent RF paths. It optimizes system performance while
reducing manufacturing costs of transmitters that use symmetric or asymmetric power amplifier designs to
efficiently process signals with large peak-to-average ratios.
This monolithic RFIC integrates a 90° RF splitter, digital phase shifters and a digital step attenuator along with a
low voltage CMOS serial interface. It can cover a phase range of 87.2° in 2.8° steps and an attenuation range of
7.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps, while providing excellent phase and amplitude accuracy from 3.4–3.8 GHz.
The PE46140 also features exceptional linearity, high output port-to-port isolation and extremely low power
consumption relative to competing module solutions. It is offered in a 32-lead 6 × 6 mm QFN package.
The PE46140 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

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Exceeding absolute maximum ratings listed in Table 1 may cause permanent damage. Operation should be
restricted to the limits in Table 2. Operation between operating range maximum and absolute maximum for
extended periods may reduce reliability.
ESD Precautions
When handling this UltraCMOS device, observe the same precautions as with any 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 1.
Latch-up Immunity
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up.

Switching Frequency
Thermal Data
The PE46140 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
frequency.
Psi-JT (JT), junction top-of-package, is a thermal
metric to estimate junction temperature of a device on
the customer application PCB (JEDEC JESD51-2).
The switching frequency is defined to be the rate at
which the PE46140 can be continuously toggled
across attenuation and phase states.
JT = (TJ – TT)/P
where
JT = junction-to-top of package characterization
parameter, °C/W
TJ = die junction temperature, °C
TT = package temperature (top surface, in the
center), °C
P = power dissipated by device, Watts

Insertion Loss Stabilizer
The PE46140 offers greater ILS by compensating for known variations between phase states. Three attenuation
bits are used to reduce the variation seen in the insertion loss across all phase states for the RFOUT2 path. ILS
bits S0–S2 are accessible for creating a custom lookup table.

Programming Options
Serial Interface
The serial interface is a 14-bit serial-in shift register
with two parallel-out channel registers RFOUT1 and
RFOUT2 buffered by a transparent latch. The 14 bits
comprise four bits defining the attenuation setting, five
bits for the phase shift setting and three bits for the
insertion loss stabilization feature. Channel register
RFOUT1 and RFOUT2 selection is determined by the
value of the C0 bit contained as part of the 14-bit
program word.
The serial interface is controlled using three CMOS
compatible signals: serial data in (SDI), clock (CLK)
and latch enable (LE). The SDI and CLK inputs allow
data to be serially entered into the shift register. Serial
data is clocked in starting with two spare bits first and
then the phase setting LSB. The shift register must be
Amplitude
Setting
loaded while LE is held LOW to prevent the internal
channel register values from changing as data is
entered. The LE input should then be toggled HIGH,
latching the new data into the PE46140. SDO is a
clock delayed reply of the user’s input SDI command
for functional confirmation.
Phase shift, attenuation and insertion loss stabilizer
setting truth tables are listed in Table 8, Table 9 and
Table 12. The serial timing diagram is illustrated in
Figure 2 and associated AC characteristics are listed
in Table 13.
Power-up Control Settings
The PE46140 will power up in one of two default
states depending upon the setting of the default state
(DS) pin, as defined in Table 10 and Table 11. No
specific signal sequencing is required for the default
state to be set and active once VDD is applied.

Notes:
1) Pins are internally connected, signal only needs to be applied to
one of the pins. The alternate unused pin needs to be left floating.
2) SDOs are independently buffered outputs of the same signal.
3) RF pins 4, 5, 17 and 18, 23 and 24 must be at 0 VDC. The RF
pins do not require DC blocking capacitors for proper operation if
the 0 VDC requirement is met.
4) Pin 19 must be grounded for proper function.
5) Must be active low for normal SPI operation. Logic high programs
0 dB attenuation setting and 0° phase setting. Setting back to
logic low returns to the previously programmed state.
6) Pin has an internal 100 kΩ pull-up resistor.
