Peregrine expands high-frequency product line with next-gen PLL

IMS2013, USA: Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. announced it has further expanded its high-frequency product line with the Integer-N PE33241 Phase-Locked Loop (PLL).

The UltraCMOS technology-based PLL features a very low phase noise Figure of Merit (FOM) of -230 dBc/Hz, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio, thereby helping to reduce the overall system cost while improving performance. The device supports operation at 5 GHz with a 10/11 prescaler modulus, making it ideal for industrial transceivers, specialized transceivers, and clock generators requiring low phase noise.

The PE33241 PLL is ideal for RF frequency generation; L, S and C-band synthesizers; and clock recovery in communication systems, mobile terminals, telemetry, radar, and portable radios.
