The PE4140 is an ultra-high linearity passive broadband Quad

MOSFET array with high dynamic range performance capable

of oper ati o n beyon d 6.0 GHz. This qu ad arr ay o pe r ates wit h

differential signals at all ports (RF, LO, IF), allowing mixers to

be built that use LO powers from -7 dBm to +20 dBm. Typical

applications range from frequency up/down-conversion to

phase detec tion for Cellular/PCS Bas e Stations, Wireless

Broadband Communications and STB/Cable modems.

The PE4140 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™

pro c ess, a patented variation of silicon -on-insulator (SOI )

technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance

of GaAs with the econom y and integr ation of conventi on al

CMOS.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

This MOSFET device has minimally protected

inputs and is highly susceptible to ESD dama ge.

Latc h-Up Avoidance

Unlike conven tional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™

devices are immune to latch-up.

Device Description

The PE 41 40 passiv e broadba nd Qu ad MOSFET

arr ay is desi g n ed for us e i n up- co nvers ion and

down-conversion applications for high

performance systems such as cellular

infrastructure equipment and STB/CATV systems.

The PE4140 is an ideal mixer core for a wide

range of mixer products, including module level

solutions that incorporate baluns or other single-

ended matching structures enabling three-port

operation.

The per f or m an c e lev el of thi s pas s i ve mix er is

made possible by the very high linearity afford ed

by Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™ process.

Marking

Packaged devices are marked with part number

“4140”, date code and lot code.

Moist u re Sen sit i vit y L evel

The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the

PE4140 in the 6-lead 3x3 DFN package is MSL1.
