Product Specification
PE9701
Product Description
Peregrine’s PE9701 is a high-performance integer-N PLL
capable of frequency synthesis up to 3.0 GHz. The device
is designed for superior phase noise performance while
providing an order of magnitude reduction in current
consumption, when compared with existing commercial
space PLLs.
The PE9701 features a 10/11 dual modulus prescaler,
counters, and a phase comparator as shown in Figure 1.
Counter values are programmable through either a serial or
parallel interface and can also be directly hard wired.
The PE9701 is optimized for commercial space
applications. Single Event Latch up (SEL) is physically
impossible and Single Event Upset (SEU) is better than
10
-9
errors per bit / day.
It is manufactured on Peregrine’s
UltraCMOS™ process, a patented variation of silicon-on-
insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate, offering
excellent RF performance and intrinsic radiation tolerance.

Selects contents of primary register (FSELS=1) or secondary register (FSELS=0) for
programming of internal counters while in Serial Interface Mode.
Parallel data bus bit7 (MSB).

in
bypasses the prescaler.

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.
