Product Description

The PE42427 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced SPDT

RF switch designed to cover a broad range of

applications from 5-6000 MHz. This reflective switch

integrates on-board CMOS control logic with a low

voltage CMOS-compatible control interface and requires

no external components.

pSemi’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.

Notes: 1. Typical performance over temperature and VDD shown in Figure 5 through Figure 21.

2. High frequency performance can be improved by external matching (see Figure 22 through Figure 27 and Figure 30).

3. The input P0.1dB compression point is a linearity figure of merit. Refer to Table 5 for the operating RF input power.

Switching time 50% CTRL to (10%-90%) or (90%-10%) RF 2 4 μs

Switching Frequency

The PE42427 has a maximum 25 kHz switching

frequency. Switching frequency describes the time

duration between switching events. Switching time

is the time duration between the point the control

signal reached 50% of the final value and the point

the output signal reaches within 10% or 90% of its

target value.

Spurious Performance

The PE42427 spur fundamental occurs around

13 MHz. Its typical performance is -163 dBm/Hz,

with 200 kHz bandwidth. The performance is

ideally suited for cable broadband applications.

Pin 4 should also be left unconnected for optimal

spurious performance.

Thermal Data

Psi-JT ( JT), junction top-of-package, is a thermal

metric to estimate junction temperature of a device

on the customer application PCB (JEDEC JESD51

-2).

JT = (TJ - TT)/P

where

JT = junction-to-top of package characterization

parameter, C/W

TJ = die junction temperature, C

TT = package temperature (top surface, in the

center), C

P = power dissipated by device, Watts

Latch-Up Avoidance

Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS

devices are immune to latch-up.

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.

Moisture Sensitivity Level

The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the

PE42427 in the 12-lead 2 × 2 × 0.55 mm QFN

package is MSL1.

Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause

permanent damage. Operation should be restricted

to the limits in the Operating Ranges table.

Figure 28. Evaluation Board Layout

Evaluation Board

The SPDT switch evaluation board was designed

to ease customer evaluation of pSemi’s PE42427.

The RF common port is connected through a 50Ω

transmission line via the top SMA connector, J2.

RF1 and RF2 ports are connected through 50Ω

transmission lines via SMA connectors J1 and J3,

respectively. A through 50Ω transmission is

available via SMA connectors J4 and J5. This

transmission line can be used to estimate the loss

of the PCB over the environmental conditions

being evaluated. J8 provides DC and digital inputs

to the device.

The board is constructed of a four metal layer

material with a total thickness of 62 mils. The top

and bottom RF layers are Rogers RO4350 material

with a 10 mil RF core. The middle layers provide

ground for the transmission lines. The transmission

lines were designed using a coplanar waveguide

with ground plane model using a trace width of

22 mils, trace gaps of 7 mils, and metal thickness

of 2.1 mils.
