Product Description
The PE4140 is an ultra-high linearity passive broadband Quad MOSFET array with high dynamic range performance capable of operation beyond 6.0 GHz. This quad array operates with 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 detection for Cellular/PCS Base Stations, Wireless Broadband Communications and STB/Cable modems.
The PE4140 is manufactured on pSemi’s UltraCMOS™ process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.

PE4140
Product Specification
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions This MOSFET device has minimally protected inputs and is highly susceptible to ESD damage. When handling this UltraCMOS™ device, observe the same precautions that you would use with other ESD-sensitive devices. Latch-Up Avoidance Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™ devices are immune to latch-up. Device Description The PE4140 passive broadband Quad MOSFET array is designed for use in up-conversion 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 singleended matching structures enabling three-port operation.
The performance level of this passive mixer is made possible by the very high linearity afforded by pSemi’s UltraCMOS™ process. Marking Packaged devices are marked with part number “4140”, date code and lot code. Moisture Sensitivity Level The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the PE4140 in the 6-lead 3x3 DFN package is MSL1.
