Product Specification
PE42850
Product Description
The PE42850 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced SP5T
high power RF switch supporting wireless applications up
to 1 GHz. It offers maximum power handling of 42.5 dBm
continuous wave (CW). It delivers high linearity and
excellent harmonics performance. It has both a standard
and attenuated RX mode. No blocking capacitors are
required if DC voltage is not present on the RF ports.
The PE42850 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.

2. RF pins 2, 4, 8, 21, 23 and 28 must be at 0 VDC. The RF pins do
not require DC blocking capacitors for proper operation if the 0 VDC
requirement is met.
3. Use V

Switching Frequency
The PE42850 has a maximum 10 kHz switching
rate when the internal negative voltage generator
is used (pin 16 = GND). The rate at which the
PE42850 can be switched is only limited to the
switching time (Table
1)
if an external negative
supply is provided (pin 16 = V
SS_EXT
).
Switching frequency describes the time duration
between switching events. Switching time is the
time duration between the point the control signal
reaches 50% of the final value and the point the
output signal reaches within 10% or 90% of its
target value.

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.
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.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS
devices are immune to latch-up.
Moisture Sensitivity Level
The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the
5x5 mm QFN package is MSL3.
For proper operation, the V
SS_EXT
control pin must
be grounded or tied to the Vss voltage specified in
Table 3.
When the V
SS_EXT
control pin is grounded,
FETs in the switch are biased with an internal
voltage generator. For applications that require the
lowest possible spur performance, V
SS_EXT
can be
applied externally to bypass the internal negative
voltage generator.
Spurious Performance
The typical spurious performance of the PE42850
is –130 dBm when V
SS_EXT
= 0V (pin 16 = GND). If
further improvement is desired, the internal
negative voltage generator can be disabled by
setting V
SS_EXT
= –3.4V.
