Product Specification
PE42540
Product Description
The PE42540 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced
absorptive SP4T RF switch developed on UltraCMOS
®
process technology. This switch is designed specifically
to support the requirements of the test equipment and
ATE market. It is comprised of four symmetric RF ports
and has very high isolation. An on-chip CMOS decode
logic facilitates a two-pin low voltage CMOS control
interface and an optional external Vss feature. High
ESD tolerance and no blocking capacitor requirements
make this the ultimate in integration and ruggedness.
The PE42540 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.
