Product Specification
PE42650A
Product Description
The following specification defines an SP3T (single pole three
throw) switch for use in cellular and other wireless applications.
It has both a standard and attenuated RX mode. The
PE42650A uses Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™ process and also
features HaRP™ technology enhancements to deliver high
linearity and exceptional harmonics performance. HaRP™
technology is an innovative feature of the UltraCMOS™
process providing upgraded linearity performance.
The PE42650A 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
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.

PE42650A
Product Specification
Evaluation Kit
The PE42650A Evaluation Kit board was designed
to ease customer evaluation of the PE42650A RF
switch.
DC power is supplied through J10, with V
DD
on pin 9,
and GND on the entire lower row of even numbered
pins. To evaluate a switch path, add or remove
jumpers on V1 (pin 3), V2 (pin 5), and V3 (pin
7) using Table 5 (adding a jumper pulls the CMOS
control pin low and removing it allows the on-board
pull-up resistor to set the CMOS control pin
high). J10 pins 1, 11, and 13 are N/C.
The RF common port (ANT) is connected through
a 50 Ohm transmission line via the top SMA
connector, J1. RX and TX paths are also
connected through 50 Ohm transmission lines via
SMA connectors. A 50 Ohm through transmission
line is available via SMA connectors J8 and J9.
This transmission line can be used to estimate the
loss of the PCB over the environmental conditions
being evaluated. An open-ended 50 Ohm
transmission line is also provided at J7 for calibration
if needed.
Narrow trace widths are used near each part to
improve impedance matching.
