The PE64905 is a DuNE™-enhanced Digitally Tunable
Capacitor (DTC) based on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS
®
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 2-
wire (I
2
C 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 DuNE™ technology enables excellent linearity
and exceptional harmonic performance. DuNE devices
deliver performance superior to GaAs devices with the
economy and integration of conventional CMOS.

Table 2. Pin Descriptions
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.

Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS
®
devices are immune to latch-up.
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 specified rating.
Moisture Sensitivity Level
The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the
PE64905 in the 10-lead 2 x 2 x 0.45 mm QFN
package is MSL1.
Note: 1. De-rated over frequency
Note: 1. Pins 1-2 and 8-9 must be tied together on PCB for optimal performance
