Product Specification
PE42452
Product Description
The PE42452 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced
absorptive SP5T RF switch designed for use in 3G/4G
wireless infrastructure and other high performance RF
applications.
This switch is a pin-compatible upgraded version of the
PE42451 with 1.8V control logic. It is comprised of five
symmetric RF ports and has very high isolation. An
integrated CMOS decoder facilitates a three-pin low
voltage CMOS control interface and an external negative
supply option. In addition, no external blocking
capacitors are required if 0V DC is present on the RF
ports.
The PE42452 is manufactured on Peregrine’s
UltraCMOS
®
process, a patented variation of silicon-on-
insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate.
Peregrine’s HaRP™ technology enhancements deliver
high linearity and excellent harmonics performance. It is
an innovative feature of the UltraCMOS
®
process, offering
the performance of GaAs with the economy and
integration of conventional CMOS.

Notes: 1. RF pins 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 22 must be at 0V DC. The RF pins do
not require DC blocking capacitors for proper operation if the 0V DC
requirement is met
2. Use Vss
EXT
(pin 20, refer to
Table 3)
to bypass and disable internal
negative voltage generator. Connect Vss
EXT
(pin 20, Vss

= GND) to
enable internal negative voltage generator

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.

PE42452
Product Specification
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.
Switching Frequency
The PE42452 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
rate in normal mode (pin 20 = GND). A faster
switching rate is available in bypass mode (pin 20
= Vss
EXT
). The rate at which the PE42452 can be
switched is then limited to the switching time as
specified in
Table 1.
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.
Moisture Sensitivity Level
The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the
PE42452 in the 24-lead 4x4 QFN package is
MSL1.

Note: Logic State 111 is unsupported and should not be used under any
operating conditions
Optional External Vss Control (VssEXT)
For applications the require a faster switching rate
or spur-free performance, this part can be
operated in bypass mode. Bypass mode requires
an external negative voltage in addition to an
external V
DD
supply voltage.
As specified in
Table 3,
the external negative
voltage (Vss
EXT
) when applied to pin 20 will
disable and bypass the internal negative voltage
generator.
Spurious Performance
The typical low-frequency spurious performance
of the PE42452 in normal mode is –120 dBm
(pin 20 = GND). If spur-free performance is
desired, the internal negative voltage generator
can be disabled by applying a negative voltage to
Vss
EXT
(pin 20).
