Product Specification
PE3291
Product Description
The PE3291 is a dual fractional-N FlexiPower
TM
phase-lock loop
(PLL) IC designed for frequency synthesis. Each PLL includes
a FlexiPower
TM
prescaler, phase detector, charge pump and on-
board fractional spur compensation.
The FlexiPower prescalers are supplied power on dedicated
pins and can operate at a substantial power savings at
voltages as low as 0.8 volts, while allowing a 3 volt charge
pump supply. For 3 volt only systems, on-chip voltage
regulation may be used to generate the prescaler power
supplies.
Figure 1 illustrates the implementation of the FlexiPower
technology. The prescaler power supply may be provided
externally or internally regulated down from V
DD
. In a typical
950 MHz application the total current consumed by the PLL is
2.1 mA. Operation at reduced current levels provides
significant battery life extension. The PE3291 allows the
system designer to minimize power consumption by controlling
the voltage on the prescaler. For additional operating speeds
and current consumptions refer to Figures 5 and 6.
PE3291 provides fractional-N division with power-of-two
denominator values up to 32. This allows comparison
frequencies up to 32 times the channel spacing, providing a
lower phase noise floor than integer PLLs. The 32/33 RF
prescaler (PLL1) operates up to 1200 MHz and the 16/17 IF
prescaler (PLL2) operates up to 550 MHz.
The PE3291 Phase Locked-Loop 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.

PE3291
Product Specification
PE3291 Description
The PE3291 is intended for such applications as
the local oscillator for the RF and first IF of dual-
conversion transceivers. The RF PLL (PLL1)
includes a 32/33 prescaler with a 1200 MHz
maximum frequency of operation, where the IF
PLL (PLL2) incorporates a 16/17 prescaler with a
550 MHz maximum frequency of operation. Using
an advanced fractional-N phase-locked loop
technique, the PE3291 can generate a stable,
very low phase-noise signal. The dual fractional
architecture allows fine resolution in both PLLs,
with no degradation in phase noise performance.
Data is transferred into the PE3291 via a three-
wire interface (Data, Clock, LE). Supply voltage
can range from 2.7 to 3.3 volts for V
DD
and from
0.8 to 3.3 volts for the FlexiPower supply. PE3291
features very low power consumption and is
available in a 20-lead TSSOP (JEDEC MO-153-
AC) package.
FlexiPower Operation
Each FlexiPower PLL prescaler can be supplied
its own dedicated supply voltage as low as 0.8
volts for substantial power savings. The maximum
frequency of operation scales with the FlexiPower
supply voltage. If voltages less than V
DD
are not
available, the FlexiPower supplies can be
internally generated, but the power savings will
not be as great as when using external
FlexiPower supplies.
Spurious Response
A critical parameter for synthesizer designs is
spurious output. Spurs occur at the integer
multiples of the step size away from center tone.
An important feature of fractional synthesizers is
their ability to reduce these spurious sidebands.
The PE3291 has a built-in method for reducing
these spurs, with no external components or
tuning required. In addition, this circuitry works
over the full commercial temperature range.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values listed in
the above table. Exceeding these values may cause
permanent device damage. Functional operation
should be restricted to the limits in the DC and AC
Characteristics table. Exposure to absolute maximum
ratings for extended periods may affect device
reliability.
Periodically sampled, not 100% tested. Tested per MIL-
STD-883, M3015 C2
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
specified rating in Table 4.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.
