PE42359
SPDT UltraCMOS
®
RF Switch
10 MHz – 3 GHz
Product Description
The PE42359 UltraCMOS
®
RF switch is designed to
cover a broad range of applications from 10 MHz through
3 GHz. 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 +33.5 dBm can be achieved. PE42359 also
meets the quality and performance standards for
automotive applications and has received AEC-Q100
Grade 2 certification.
The PE42359 is manufactured on Peregrine’s
UltraCMOS
®
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.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Moisture Sensitivity Level
The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the
PE42359 in the SC70 package is MSL1.
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.

Control Logic Input
The PE42359 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 (V
DD
). This mode of operation reduces the
number of control lines required and simplifies the
switch control interface typically derived from a
CMOS
Processor
I/O port.
Complementary-pin control mode
allows the
switch to operate using complementary control
pins CTRL and
CTRL
(pins 4 and 6), that can be
directly driven by +3-volt CMOS logic or a suitable
Processor
I/O port. This enables the PE42359 to
be used as a potential alternate source for SPDT
RF switch products used in positive control
voltage mode and operating within the PE42359
operating limits.

Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS

devices are immune to latch-up.
Switching Frequency
The PE42359 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
rate.
