Advance Information
PE9308
13.5 GHz Low Power UltraCMOS™
Divide-by-4 Prescaler for
RAD-Hard Space Applications
Product Description
The PE9308 is a high-performance dynamic UltraCMOS™
prescaler ideal for Ku band Transceiver applications. It has a
fixed divide ratio of 4 with an operating frequency range of 4.0
GHz to 13.5 GHz. The PE9308 operates on a nominal 2.6 V
supply and draws only 15 mA. It is packaged in a small 8-lead
Flat Pack and is also available in Die form for Hybrid
application.
The PE9308 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.
Features
• High-frequency operation: up to 13.5 GHz
• Fixed divide ratio of 4
• Low-power operation:15 mA typical @ 2.6V
• SEL Immune due to UltraCMOS™
• SEU <10-10 errors / bit-day
• 100 Krads (Si) Total Dose
• Small package: 8-lead Formed Flat pack
• Available as Die

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.

The PE9308 takes an input signal frequency from
between 4.0 GHz to 13.5 GHz and produces an
output signal frequency one-fourth that of the
supplied input. In order for the prescaler to work
properly, several conditions need to be adhered
to. It is crucial that pins 1, 2 and 5 be supplied
with a bypass capacitor to ground. In addition, the
output signal (pins 6) needs to be ac coupled via
an external capacitor as shown in the test circuit
below.

Evaluation Kit
Figure 8. Evaluation Board Layouts
Peregrine Specification 101/0186
The Ceramic SOIC Prescaler Evaluation Board
was designed to help customers evaluate the
PE9308 divide-by-4 prescaler. On this board, the
device input (pin 3) is connected to the SMA
connector J2 through a 50 Ω transmission line.
The device output (pin 6) is connected to SMA
connector J3 through a 50 Ω transmission line.
J1 provides DC power to the device via pin
1,2,4,5,7,8.Multiple decoupling capacitors
(C4,5,8,9=10pF, C3,6,7,10=0.01uF) are used. It is
the responsibility of the customer to determine
proper supply decoupling for their design
application. The board is constructed using 4
layers. The top and bottom layers are comprised
of Rogers low loss 4350 material having a core
thickness of 0.010"; while the internal layers are
comprised of FR-4. The overall board thickness is
0.062".
