Product Specification PE43205 UltraCMOS RF Digital Attenuator 2-bit, 18 dB, 356000 MHz Product Description The PE43205 is a 50 , HaRP technology-enhanced Features fast switching 2-bit RF Digital Step Attenuator (DSA) Attenuation: 6 dB / 12 dB steps to 18 dB designed for use in 3G/4G wireless infrastructure and Fast switching time of 29 ns other high performance RF applications. Low attenuation error 0.10 dB 2 GHz This DSA is a pin-compatible upgraded version of the 0.15 dB 3 GHz PE43204 with a wider frequency and power supply range, and extended operating temperature range. High linearity +61 dBm IIP3 1950 MHz Covering an 18 dB attenuation range in 6 dB and 12 dB Wide supply range of 2.3V to 5.5V steps, it maintains high RF performance and low power 1.8V control logic compatible consumption from 35 MHz through 6 GHz. PE43205 is 105C operating temperature offered in a 12-lead 3x3 mm QFN package. In addition, ESD performance no external blocking capacitors are required if 0 VDC is 2 kV HBM on all pins present on the RF ports. 100V MM on all pins 1 kV CDM on all pins The PE43205 is manufactured on Peregrines Parallel control process, a patented variation of silicon-on- UltraCMOS insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate. Peregrines HaRP technology enhancements deliver high linearity and excellent harmonics performance. It is an innovative feature of the UltraCMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS. Figure 1. Functional Diagram Figure 2.
