Product Brief PE64905 For full datasheet, please visit dtc.psemi.com. UltraCMOS(R) Digitally Tunable Capacitor (DTC) 100-3000 MHz Features Product Description The PE64905 is a DuNETM-enhanced Digitally Tunable Capacitor (DTC) based on Peregrine's UltraCMOS(R) technology. DTC products provide a monolithically integrated impedance tuning solution for demanding RF applications. The PE64905 offers high RF power handling and ruggedness, while meeting challenging harmonic and linearity requirements. This highly versatile product can be used in series or shunt configurations to support a wide variety of tuning circuit topologies. The device is controlled through the widely supported 2wire (I2C compatible) interface and has two selectable addresses for implementations with multiple DTCs. All decoding and biasing is integrated on-chip, and no external bypassing, or filtering components are required. Peregrine's DuNETM technology enables excellent linearity and exceptional harmonic performance. DuNE devices deliver performance superior to GaAs devices with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS. Figure 1.

Absolute Maximum Ratings Symbol VDD VI VESD Parameter/Conditions Min Max Units Power supply voltage -0.3 4.0 V Voltage on any DC input -0.3 4.0 V 1500 V ESD Voltage (HBM, MIL_STD 883 Method 3015.7) 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. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions When handling this UltraCMOS(R) 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.
