Product Description
The PE42440 is a HaRP™-enhanced SP4T RF switch developed on the UltraCMOS® process technology. This general-purpose switch contains 4 identical RF ports and can be used in a multitude of applications up to 3000 MHz. It integrates on-board CMOS control logic with a low voltage CMOScompatible control interface and requires no DC blocking capacitors. This RoHS-compliant part is available in a standard 3 x 3 x 0.75 mm QFN package.
Peregrine’s HaRP™ technology enhancements deliver high linearity and exceptional harmonics performance. It is an innovative feature of the UltraCMOS® process, providing performance superior to GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.
