Product Specification
PE4306
Product Description
The PE4306 is a high linearity, 5-bit RF Digital Step Attenuator
(DSA) covering a 31 dB attenuation range in 1dB 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
PE4306 exhibits very low insertion loss and low power
consumption. This functionality is delivered in a 4x4 mm QFN
footprint.
The PE4306 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.

Exposed Solder Pad Connection
The exposed solder pad on the bottom of the
package must be grounded for proper device
operation.
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™
devices are immune to latch-up.
Switching Frequency
The PE4306 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
rate.
Resistor on Pin 1 & 3
A 10 kΩ resistor on the inputs to Pin 1 & 3 (see
Figure 16) will eliminate package resonance
between the RF input pin and the two digital
inputs. Specified attenuation error versus
frequency performance is dependent upon this
condition.

Notes: 1:
Both RF ports must be held at 0 V
DC
or DC blocked with an
external series capacitor.
2: Latch Enable (LE) has an internal 100 kΩ resistor to V
DD.
3: Connect pin 12 to GND to enable internal negative voltage
generator. Connect pin 12 to V
SS
(-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 1 & 3”
