UltraCMOS^® 3.0 GHz Integer-N PLL for Space Applications

Peregrine’s PE9701 is a high-performance integer-N PLL capable of frequency synthesis up to 3.0 GHz. 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 PE9701 features a 10/11 dual modulus prescaler, counters, and a phase comparator. Counter values are programmable through either a serial or parallel interface and can also be directly hard wired. It is offered in a 44-lead CQFJ package and as DIE.
