Product Specification
PE97042
Product Description
Peregrine’s PE97042 is a high-performance integer-N PLL
capable of frequency synthesis up to 3500 MHz. 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 PE97042 features a ÷10/11 dual modulus prescaler,
counters, and a phase comparator as shown in Figure 1.
Counter values are programmable through a serial
interface, and can also be directly hard wired.
The PE97042 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.

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.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.

Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause

restricted to the limits in the Operating Ranges
table. Operation between operating range

Note 1: Fclk is verified during the functional pattern test. Serial programming sections of the functional pattern are clocked at 10 MHz to verify Fclk
specification.
Note 2: CMOS logic levels can be used to drive reference input if DC coupled. For Sin wave inputs, amplitude needs to be a minimum of 0.5Vp-p.
Note 3: Parameter is guaranteed through characterization only and is not tested.
Note 4: Parameters below are not tested for die sales. These parameters are verified during the element evaluation.
