Product Specification PE43705 UltraCMOS RF Digital Step Attenuator, 7-bit, 31.75 dB 50 MHz 8 GHz Product Description Features The PE43705 is a 50 , HaRP technology-enhanced, 7-bit RF Digital Step Attenuator (DSA) designed for use in 3G/4G Attenuation options: covers a 31.75 dB wireless infrastructure and other high performance RF range in 0.25 dB, 0.5 dB, or 1.0 dB steps applications. 0.25 dB monotonicity for 6 GHz 0.50 dB monotonicity for 7 GHz This DSA is a pin-compatible upgraded version of PE43703 with higher power handling and a wider frequency, control 1.00 dB monotonicity for 8 GHz voltage and operating temperature range. An integrated Safe attenuation state transitions digital control interface supports both Serial and Parallel High power handling programming of the attenuation, including the capability to 31 dBm, Pulsed 8 GHz program an initial attenuation state at power-up. 28 dBm, CW 8 GHz Covering a 31.75 dB attenuation range in 0.25 dB, 0.50 dB, High linearity: +58 dBm IIP3 or 1 dB steps, it maintains a monotonic step response from 1.8V control logic compatible 50 MHz through 8 GHz. PE43705 also features safe 105C operating temperature attenuation state transitions and is offered in a 32-lead 5x5 mm QFN package. In addition, no external blocking Programming modes capacitors are required if 0V DC is present on the RF ports. Direct Parallel Latched Parallel The PE43705 is manufactured on Peregrines UltraCMOS Serial process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) Serial Addressable technology on a sapphire substrate. High-attenuation state power-up (PUP) Peregrines HaRP technology enhancements deliver high ESD performance linearity and excellent harmonics performance. It is an 1.5 kV HBM on all pins innovative feature of the UltraCMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS. Figure 2. Package Type Figure 1.
