PE4242
SPDT UltraCMOS™ RF Switch
Product Description
The PE4242 UltraCMOS™ RF Switch is designed to cover a broad range of applications from near DC through 3000 MHz. This reflective switch integrates on-board CMOS control logic with a low voltage CMOS-compatible control interface, and can be controlled using either single-pin or complementary control inputs. Using a nominal +3-volt power supply voltage, a typical input 1 dB compression point of +27 dBm can be achieved. The PE4242 UltraCMOS™ RF Switch is manufactured in Peregrine’s patented Ultra Thin Silicon (UTSi®) CMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.

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. Latch-Up Avoidance Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™ devices are immune to latch-up.
Note 1:
All RF pins must be DC blocked with an external series capacitor or held at 0 VDC.

Signal Path
RFC to RF1
Control Logic Input The PE4242 is a versatile RF CMOS switch that supports two operating control modes; single-pin control mode and complementary-pin control mode. Single-pin control mode enables the switch to operate with a single control pin (pin 4) supporting a +3-volt CMOS logic input, and requires a dedicated +3-volt power supply connection on pin 6 (VDD). This mode of operation reduces the number of control lines required and simplifies the switch control interface typically derived from a CMOS µProcessor I/O port. Complementary-pin control mode allows the switch to operate using complementary control pins CTRL and CTRL (pins 4 & 6), that can be directly driven by +3-volt CMOS logic or a suitable µProcessor I/O port. This enables the PE4242 to be used as a potential alternate source for SPDT.
