Product Specification PE4256 75 SPDT CATV UltraCMOSTM Switch 5 MHz - 3 GHz Product Description The PE4256 is an UltraCMOSTM Switch designed for CATV applications, covering a broad frequency range from 5 MHz up to 3 GHz. This single-supply SPDT switch integrates a two-pin CMOS control interface. It also provides low insertion loss with extremely low bias requirements while operating on a single 3volt supply. In a typical CATV application, the PE4256 provides for a cost effective and manufacturable solution when compared to mechanical relays. The PE4256 is manufactured on Peregrine's UltraCMOSTM 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.

RF pins 3, 8, and 13 must be at 0 VDC. The RF pins do not require DC blocking capacitors for proper operation if the 0 VDC requirement is met. 2. Pins 16 and 17 are the CMOS controls that set the three operating states. 3. Connect pin 18 to GND to enable the on-chip negative voltage generator. Connect pin 18 to VSS (-3 V) to bypass and disable internal 3 V supply generator. 4. Customer can add external resistance to ground to change or modify termination resistance.

Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid exceeding the rating specified. Moisture Sensitivity Level The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the PE4256 in the 20-lead 4 x 4 mm QFN package is MSL1. Document No. 70-0144-04 UltraCMOSTM RFIC Solutions PE4256 Product Specification Latch-Up Avoidance Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOSTM devices are immune to latch-up. Switching Frequency The PE4256 has a maximum 25 kHz switching rate when the internal negative voltage generator is used (pin 18 = GND). Table 5.

Page 3 of 8 PE4256 Product Specification Evaluation Kit The SPDT Switch Evaluation Kit was designed to ease customer evaluation of the PE4256 SPDT switch. The RF common port (RFC) is connected through a 75 transmission line to J2. Port 1 and Port 2 are connected through 75 transmission lines to J1 and J3. A through transmission line connects F connectors J4 and J5. This transmission line can be used to estimate the loss of the PCB over the environmental conditions being evaluated. Figure 4. Evaluation Board Layouts Peregrine Specification 101/0148~03A The board is constructed with four metal layers in FR4 material with a total thickness of 0.062". The transmission lines were designed using a coplanar waveguide with ground plane (28 mil core, 21 mil width, 30 mil gap). J6 provides a means for controlling DC and digital inputs to the device. The provided jumpers short the package pin to ground for logic low. When the jumper is removed, the pin is pulled up to VDD for logic high. When the jumper is in place, 3 A of current will flow through the 1 M pull-up resistor. This extra current should not be attributed to the device. Proper PCB design is essential for full isolation performance. This evaluation board demonstrates good trace and ground management for minimum coupling and radiation. Figure 5.
