Product Specification
PE4305
Product Description
The PE4305 is a high linearity, 5-bit RF Digital Step Attenuator
(DSA) covering a 15.5 dB attenuation range in 0.5 dB steps,
and is pin compatible with the PE430x series. This 50-ohm RF
DSA provides both parallel (latched or direct mode) and serial
CMOS control interface, operates on a single 3-volt supply and
maintains high attenuation accuracy over frequency and
temperature. It also has a unique control interface that allows
the user to select an initial attenuation state at power-up. The
PE4305 exhibits very low insertion loss and low power
consumption. This functionality is delivered in a 4x4 mm QFN
footprint.
The PE4305 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
rate specified in Table 3.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™ de-
vices are immune to latch-up.
Switching Frequency
The PE4305 has a maximum 25 kHz switching rate.
Resistor on Pin 3
A 10 kΩ resistor on the input to Pin 3 (see Figure 16)
will eliminate package resonance between the RF input
pin and the digital input. Specified attenuation error
versus frequency performance is dependent upon this
condition.

Paddle
Note 1: Both RF ports must be held at 0 VDC or DC blocked with an
external series capacitor.
2: Latch Enable (LE) has an internal 100 kΩ resistor to VDD.
3: Connect pin 12 to GND to enable internal negative voltage
generator. Connect pin 12 to VSS (-VDD) to bypass and disable
internal negative voltage generator.

4. Place a 10 kΩ resistor in series, as close to pin as possible to
avoid frequency resonance. See “Resistor on Pin 3” paragraph.
