PE97240
Product Description
Peregrine’s PE97240 is a radiation tolerant high-
performance Integer-N PLL capable of frequency
synthesis up to 5 GHz. The device is designed for
commercial space applications and optimized for
superior phase noise performance.
The PE97240 features a selectable prescaler
modulus of 5/6 or 10/11, counters and a phase
comparator as shown in
Figure 1.
Counter values are
programmable through either a serial interface or
directly hard-wired.
The PE97240 is available in a 44-lead CQFP and 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.

Serial clock input. SDATA is clocked serially into the 21-bit primary register (E_WR “low”)
or the 8-bit enhancement register (E_WR “high”) on the rising edge of SCLK.
M counter bit6
Binary serial data input. Input data entered MSB first.
M counter bit5
Serial load enable input. While S_WR is “low”, SDATA can be serially clocked. Primary

5/6 modulus select, active “High.” When “Low,” 10/11 modulus selected.
Power supply input. Input may range from 2.6–2.8V. Bypassing recommended.
Prescaler complementary input. A 22 pF bypass capacitor should be placed as close
as possible to this pin and be connected in series with a 50Ω resistor to ground.
Prescaler input from the VCO, 5.0 GHz max frequency. A 22 pF coupling capacitor
should be placed as close as possible to this pin and be connected in shunt to a
50Ω resistor to ground.

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.
Latch-Up Immunity
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS
devices are immune to latch-up.
ELDRS
UltraCMOS devices do not include bipolar minority
carrier elements, and therefore do not exhibit
enhanced low dose rate sensitivity.

Notes: 1. Human Body Model (MIL-STD-883 Method 3015).
2. Pin 28 is not used in normal operation.
Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause
permanent damage. Operation should be
restricted to the limits in the Operating Ranges
table. Operation between operating range
maximum and absolute maximum for extended
periods may reduce reliability.
1. Testing performed using serial programming mode.
2. SEE testing was conducted with Au, Ho, Xe, Kr, Cu ion species at 0°
incidence.
3. Minor transients (phase errors) observed resulting in self-recovering
operation without intervention.
