ADVANCE INFORMATION PE9301 3.5 GHz Low Power CMOS Divide-by-2 Prescaler For RAD-Hard Applications Product Description The PE9301 is a high performance monolithic CMOS prescaler with a fixed divide ratio of 2. Its operating frequency range is 1.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz. The PE9301 operates on a nominal 3 V supply and draws only 13 mA. It is packaged in a small 8-lead SOIC and is ideal for Space microwave PLL synthesis solutions. Features • High-frequency operation: 1.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz • Fixed divide ratio of 2 • Low-power operation: 13 mA typical @ 3 V across frequency The PE9301 is manufactured in Peregrine’s patented Ultra Thin Silicon (UTSi®) CMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS. • Small package: 8-lead SOIC • Low Cost Figure 1.

Pin Descriptions Pin No. Pin Name Description 1 VDD Power supply pin. Bypassing is required. 2 IN Input signal pin. Should be coupled with a capacitor (eg 15 pF). 3 DEC Power supply decoupling pin. Place a capacitor as close as possible and connect directly to the ground plane. 4 GND Ground pin. Ground pattern on the board should be as wide as possible to reduce ground impedance. 5 GND Ground pin. 6 NC No connection. This pin should be left open. 7 OUT Divided frequency output pin. This pin should be coupled with a capacitor (eg 47 pF). 8 GND Ground Pin. Device Functional Considerations The PE9301 takes an input signal frequency from between 1.5 GHz to3.5 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. Table 3.
