PE43xxx Monolithic RF UltraCMOSTM Digital Step Attenuators
New PE43x0x series provides versatile HaRPTM-enhanced 5, 6 and 7-bit DSAs with high linearity
|
|
|
|
|
The PE43xxx family of Digital Step Attenuators (DSAs) features unprecedented
levels of broadband linearity, attenuation accuracy and programming flexibility
which provide exquisite design solutions for today’s prolific RF applications.
Manufactured on the Company’s proprietary UltraCMOS™ silicon-on-sapphire
process technology, the products draw from many years of high-performance
RF CMOS and mixed-signal IC experience.
Specific capabilities of the DSA products include:
- Industry-leading attenuation accuracy
- 0.25 dB step size
- High linearity to near DC
- Industry leading insertion loss of 1.5 dB
- Single power supply voltage: +3.0 V, or +3.3/5.0V
- High ESD tolerance: up to 2kV HBM
- Serial-Addressable, Serial and Parallel interface logic
- Preset power-up attenuation states, a function afforded
due to the monolithic CMOS fabrication process
The new HaRP™-enhanced PE43x0x DSA series extends Peregrine's portfolio
up to 7-bits. The PE43703 is the first device to offer a Serial-Addressable
programming mode and highly flexible attenuation options by covering a 31.75
dB attenuation range in either 0.25 dB, 0.5 dB, or 1.0 dB steps. All PE43x0x
DSAs deliver unprecedented linearity (up to 59 dBm); high ESD tolerance
(500 V HBM); and operate with either 3.3V or 5V Vdd while maintaining

exceptional RF performance. This allows the use of a single device in both the RF and IF radio sections to save board space and cost.
The extraordinary performance of the Peregrine DSAs, including high accuracy and IP3 down to 100 KHz, makes them ideal for new designs. Return Loss (RL) for the newest DSAs is 17 dB through 6.0 GHz, making them a much better solution than their competitors and uniquely compatible with termination sensitive components. Compared to GaAs solutions, they offer higher IP3, accuracy, better temperature stability, lower distortion, ESD Protection, no blocking caps and lower power consumption. These aspects combine for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
applications
The devices are ideal for many RF applications such as:
- Cellular base stations, repeaters and femptocells
- Test Equipment and ATE
- Power amplifier distortion canceling loops
- CATV headend and distribution systems
- Cable and Satellite STB

About UltraCMOS™ Technology
UltraCMOS™ mixed-signal process technology is a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. It is the first commercially qualified use of Ultra-Thin-Silicon (UTSi®) on sapphire substrates with high yields and competitive costs. Since sapphire is a near perfect insulator, UltraCMOS products can integrate high-quality passive devices directly into the IC, combining high performance RF, mixed-signal, passive elements, nonvolatile memory and digital functions in a single device. UltraCMOS products are fabricated in standard high-volume CMOS facilities, achieving the economy, scalability and integration of CMOS, while enabling significant performance advantages over competing mixed-signal processes such as GaAs, SiGe BiCMOS and bulk silicon CMOS in applications where RF performance, low power and integration are paramount.
