Product Specification
PE42441
Product Description
The PE42441 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced
absorptive SP4T RF switch designed for use in various
switching applications spanning multiple markets
including wireless infrastructure, broadband, and test &
measurement.
This switch has four symmetric RF ports and delivers low
insertion loss and exceptional isolation. An on-chip
CMOS decode logic facilitates a two-pin low voltage
CMOS control interface. In addition, no external blocking
capacitors are required if 0 VDC is present on RF ports.
The PE42441 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.

3. Charged Device Model (JEDEC JESD22-C101)
Note 1: RF pins 2, 7, 13, 18, and 23 must be at 0V DC. The RF pins do not
require DC blocking capacitors for proper operation if the 0V DC
requirement is met
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.

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 specified rating.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS
®
devices are immune to latch-up.
Switching Frequency
The PE42441 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
rate. 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.
