When handling this UTSi 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.

Device Functional Considerations
The PE83512 divides an input signal, up to a
frequency of 1500 MHz, by a factor of four
thereby producing an output frequency at one
fourth the input frequency. To work properly at
higher frequency, the input and output signals
(pins 2 , 7 & optional 5) must be AC coupled via
an external capacitor, as shown in the test circuit
in Figure 4. The input may be DC coupled for
low frequency operation with care taken to remain
within the specified DC input range for the device.
The ground pattern on the board should be made
as wide as possible to minimize ground
impedance. See Figure 7 for a layout example.

Pin 6 controls weather OUTB is enabled or
disabled. Pin 6 has an internal pull-up resistor.
With no connection (floating), OUTB is disabled.
By grounding pin 6, OUTB is enabled. By
enabling OUTB, this part will use roughly 5 mA
more current.

Evaluation Kit Operation
The PE83512 EK board was designed to ease
customer evaluation of Peregrine’s high
performance Military Grade divide-by-4 Prescaler.
On this board, the device input (pin 2) is connected
via J1 and a 50 Ω transmission line. A series
capacitor (C3) provides the necessary DC block for
the device input. It is important to note that the
value of this capacitance will impact the
performance of the device. A value of 1000 pF was
found to be optimal for this board layout; other
applications may require a different value.
The device output (pin 7) is connected to connector
J3 through a 50 Ω transmission line. A series
capacitor (C1) provides the necessary DC block for
the device output. Note that this capacitor must be
chosen to have low impedance at the desired
output frequency the device. The value of 1000pF
was chosen to provide a wide operating range 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 0.007”, dielectric thickness of 0.028”, metal
thickness of 0.0014” and εr of 4.4. Note that the
predominate mode for these transmission lines is
coplanar waveguide.
J2 provides DC power to the device. Starting from
the lower left pin, the second pin to the right (J2-3)
is connected to the device VDD pin (1). Two
decoupling capacitors (10pF, 1000pF) are included
on this trace. It is the responsibility of the customer
to determine proper supply decoupling for their
design application.
