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 in Peregrine’s patented Ultra
Thin Silicon (UTSi©) CMOS process, 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 6.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.

Device Functional Considerations
Description
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.
Input signal pin. DC blocking capacitor
required (100 pF typical).

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.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values
listed in the above table. Exceeding these values
may cause permanent device damage. Exposure
to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods
may affect device reliability.
