Product Specification
PE42520
UltraCMOS
®
SPDT RF Switch
9 kHz - 13 GHz
Product Description
The PE42520 SPDT absorptive RF switch is designed for
use in Test/ATE and other high performance wireless
applications. This broadband general purpose switch
maintains excellent RF performance and linearity from 9
kHz through 13 GHz. This switch is a pin-compatible
upgraded version of PE42552 with higher power handling
of 36 dBm continuous wave (CW) and 38 dBm
instantaneous power in 50Ω @ 8 GHz. The PE42520
exhibits high isolation, fast settling time, and is offered in a
3x3 mm QFN package.
The PE42520 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.
