Product Specification
PE3511
Product Description
The PE3511 is a high-performance static UltraCMOS™
prescaler with a fixed divide ratio of 2. Its operating frequency
range is DC to 1500 MHz. The PE3511 operates on a nominal
3 V supply and draws only 8 mA. The input and output
interfaces support both AC-coupled, low-Z RF as well as direct
connection to low voltage positive logic devices. It is packaged
in a small 6-lead SC-70 and is ideal for frequency scaling
solutions
The PE3511 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.

Note 1:
CMOS logic levels can be used to drive the reference input if DC coupled. Voltage input needs to be a minimum of 0.5 Vp-p. The
input edge rate should be faster than 80mV/ns from DC - 10 MHz.

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 6.

Device Functional Considerations
No Connect. This pin should be left open.
Ground pin. Ground pattern on the board
should be as wide as possible to reduce
ground impedance.

required (100 pF typical).

Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause
permanent damage. Operation should be
restricted to the limits in the Operating Ranges
table. Operation between operating range

periods may reduce reliability.

The
PE3511
divides an input signal, up to a
frequency of 1500 MHz, by a factor of two thereby
producing an output frequency at half the input
frequency. To work properly with low impedance,
ground referenced interfaces, the input and output
signals (pins 3 & 6) must be AC coupled via an
external capacitor, as shown in the test circuit in
Figure 4.
The ground pattern on the board should be made
as wide as possible to minimize ground
impedance. See Figure 9 for a layout example.
