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 rating specified in Table 3.
Latc h-Up Avoidance
Unlike conven tional CMOS devices , UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.

Device Description
The PE4271 high isolation SPST CATV Switch is
designed to support CATV applications such as
premium channel service connect/disconnect switch
blocks. This function is typica lly performed by bulky
and expensive mechanical switches. The high
isolation characteristics (60 dB at 1 GHz, 85 dB at
5 MHz), high compression point, and an integrated
75 (0.25 watt) input termination make the PE4271
an ideal, low cos t so lution.
The control logic input pin (CTRL) is typically driven
by a 3-volt CMOS logic level signal, and has a
threshold of 50% of VDD. For flexibility to s up po rt
systems th at have 5-volt con t rol logic drivers, the
control logic input has been designed to handle a 5-
volt logic HIGH signal. (A minimal current will be
sourced out of the VDD pin when the control logic
input voltage level exceeds VDD.)
Notes: 1. CTRL accepts both CMOS and TTL voltage leads.
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.
