ADVANCE INFORMATION
PE4124
Product Description
The PE4124 is a high linearity, passive MOSFET Quad
Mixer for GSM800 & Cellular Base Station Receivers and
exhibits high dynamic range performance over an LO
drive range of 14 dBm to 20 dBm. This mixer integrates
passive matching networks to provide single ended
interfaces for the RF and LO ports, eliminating the need
for external RF baluns or matching networks. The
PE4124 is optimized for frequency down conversion
using low-side LO injection for GSM800 & Cellular Base
Station applications.
The PE4124 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 UTSi 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 3.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UTSi CMOS
devices are immune to latch-up.
