Product Specification PE9312 1500 MHz Low Power UltraCMOS™ Divide-by-4 Prescaler Rad hard for Space Applications Product Description The PE9312 is a high-performance static UltraCMOS™ prescaler with a fixed divide ratio of 4. Its operating frequency range is DC to 1500 MHz. The PE9312 operates on a nominal 3 V supply and draws only 6.5 mA. It is packaged in a small 8-lead ceramic SOIC and is ideal for frequency scaling and clock generation solutions. The PE9312 is manufactured in Peregrine’s patented UltraThin Silicon (UTSi®) CMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.

Pin Configuration Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions N/C 3 6 NC 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.

Pin Descriptions Pin No. Pin Name 1 VDD Power supply pin. Bypassing is required (eg 1000 pF & 100 pF). 2 IN Input signal pin. Should be coupled with a capacitor (eg 1000 pF). 3 NC No connection. This pin should be left open. 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 1000 pF). 8 GND Ground Pin. Device Functional Considerations Description The PE9312 divides an input signal, up to a frequency of 1500 MHz, by a factor of four thereby producing an output frequency at a quarter of the input frequency. To work properly at higher frequency, the input and output signals (pins 2 & 7) must be AC coupled via an external capacitor, as shown in the test circuit in Figure 8. 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. 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. Figure 8. Evaluation Board Layout Peregrine specification 102/0034 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.
