I. Background of PSEMI/Peregrine Semiconductor

pSemi (Peregrine Semiconductor), formerly known as Peregrine Semiconductor, is headquartered in San Diego, California, USA, and is currently a subsidiary of the Murata Group. The company has inherited Peregrine Semiconductor’s 30-year legacy of technological advancement and a world-class intellectual property portfolio, specializing in the production of high-performance semiconductors across RF, analog, and mixed-signal product lines. In January 2018, the company officially changed its name to pSemi and launched a new brand, marking its transformation from a dedicated RF manufacturer to a comprehensive semiconductor design company specializing in RF, analog, and power management.

II. PE4140 Product Overview

The PE4140 is an ultra-high-linearity, passive, broadband four-MOSFET array developed by pSemi using the UltraCMOS® process. It features high dynamic range performance and is capable of operating at frequencies above 6.0 GHz. This device supports differential signal operation on all ports (RF, LO, IF), enabling the construction of mixers using local oscillator (LO) power ranging from -7 dBm to +20 dBm, making it an ideal core component for high-performance RF mixing applications.

IV. Key Product Advantages

Ultra-High Linearity and Wideband Performance: The PE4140 is manufactured using the UltraCMOS® process, a variant of pSemi’s patented silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology implemented on a sapphire substrate. It combines the performance of GaAs with the cost-effectiveness and integration advantages of conventional CMOS.

Differential Signal Operation on All Ports: The four-port array features a differential signal design on all RF, LO, and IF ports, enabling flexible configuration of various mixer solutions and meeting the integration requirements for balun or single-ended matching structures in module-level solutions.

Wide LO Power Range: Supports local oscillator (LO) power inputs ranging from -7 dBm to +20 dBm, accommodating the design needs of various system architectures.

No Latch-Up Effect: Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are inherently immune to the latch-up effect, enhancing system reliability and stability.

V. Typical Application Areas

The PE4140’s typical applications include frequency up/down conversion and phase detection, primarily targeting the following fields:

Cellular/PCS Base Stations: As a core mixer component, it supports frequency conversion and signal processing in base station RF front-ends.

Wireless Broadband Communications: Suitable for the processing and transmission of broadband signals, enhancing overall system performance.

Set-Top Boxes/Cable Modems: Meets the RF mixing requirements of STBs and cable modems.

RF Front-End Modules: Can be integrated into RF front-end solutions as key components such as mixers.
