Product Specification
PE83503
Product Description
The PE83503 is a high-performance monolithic
UltraCMOS™
prescaler with a fixed divide ratio of 8. Its operating frequency
range is 1.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz. The PE83503 operates on a
nominal 3 V supply and draws only 12 mA. It is packaged in a
small 8-lead MSOP and is ideal for microwave PLL synthesis
solutions.
The PE83503 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™
process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance
of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional
CMOS.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
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.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.

Description
Power supply pin. Bypassing is required.
Input signal pin. Should be coupled with a
capacitor (eg 15pF)
Power supply decoupling pin. Place a
capacitor as close as possible and connect
directly to the ground plane (eg 10 nF and
10 pF).
Ground pin. Ground pattern on the board
should be as wide as possible to reduce
ground impedance.
Ground pin.
Ground pin.
Divided frequency output pin. This pin
should be coupled with a capacitor (eg 100
pF).
Ground pin.
Device Functional Considerations
The
PE83503
takes an input signal frequency
from 1.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz and produces an output
signal frequency one-eighth 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 the test circuit in Figure 7.
The ground pattern on the board should be made
as wide as possible to minimize ground
impedance.

Evaluation Kit
Evaluation Kit Operation
The MSOP Prescaler Evaluation Board was designed
to help customers evaluate the
PE83503
Divide-by-8
Prescaler. On this board, the device input (pin 2) is
connected to connector J1 through a 50
Ω
transmission
line. A series capacitor (C3) provides the necessary
DC block for the device input. It is important to note
that the value of this capacitance will impact the
performance of the device. A value of 15pF was found
to be optimal for this board layout; other applications
may require a different value.
The device output (pin 7) is connected to connector J3
through a 50
Ω
transmission line. A series capacitor
(C1) provides the necessary DC block for the device
output. Note that this capacitor must be chosen to
have a low impedance at the desired output frequency
the device. The value of 100pF was chosen to provide
a wide operating range 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 0.007”, dielectric thickness of
0.028”, metal thickness of 0.0014” and
ε
r
of 4.4. Note
that the predominate mode for these transmission lines
is coplanar waveguide.
J2 provides DC power to the device. Starting from the
lower left pin, the second pin to the right (J2-3) is
connected to the device VDD pin (1). Two decoupling
capacitors (10 pF, 1000 pF) are included on this trace.
It is the responsibility of the customer to determine
proper supply decoupling for their design application.
The DEC pin (3) must be connected to a low
impedance AC ground for proper device operation. On
the board, two decoupling capacitors (C6 = 10 nF, C4 =
10 pF), located on the back of the board, perform this
function.
