Product Specification
PE4270
Product Description
The PE4270 is a is a high-isolation Switch designed for CATV
applications, covering a broad frequency range from near DC
up to 3000 MHz. This single-supply SPST switch offers a
single-pin CMOS control interface with industry leading CTB
performance. It also provides low insertion loss, high isolation
and extremely low bias requirements while operating on a
single 3-volt supply. In a typical CATV application, the PE4270
provides for a cost effective and manufacturable solution vs.
mechanical relays.
The PE4270 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 in Table 3.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.

Device Description
The
PE4270
high isolation SPST CATV Switch is
designed to support CATV applications such as
premise disconnect of a CATV signal path. This
function is typically performed by bulky and
expensive mechanical relays. The high isolation
characteristics, high compression point, and
integrated 75-ohm terminations make the
PE4270
an ideal, cost effective and manufacturable
product of choice.
The control logic input pin (CTRL) is typically
driven by a 3-volt CMOS logic level signal, and
has a threshold of 50% of V
DD
. For flexibility to
support systems that have 5-volt control logic
drivers, the control logic input has been designed
to handle a 5-volt logic HIGH signal. (A minimal
current will be sourced out of the V
DD
pin when the
control logic input voltage level exceeds V
DD
.)

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values
listed in the above table. Exceeding these values
may cause permanent device damage.
Functional operation should be restricted to the
limits in the DC Electrical Specifications table.
Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

Product Specification
Evaluation Kit
The
PE4270
EK board was designed to ease
customer evaluation of Peregrine’s high
performance SPST CATV MOSFET switch. RF1
is connected through a 75
Ω
transmission line via
the top left F connector, J1. RF2 is connected
through a 75
Ω
transmission line via the top right
F connector, J2. A 75
Ω
through transmission line
is available via F connectors J3 and J4. This
transmission line can be used to estimate the loss
of the PCB over the environmental conditions
being evaluated. V
DD
is supplied via J6-2, while
the control logic voltage is supplied via J5-2. It is
the responsibility of the customer to determine
proper supply decoupling for their design
application. It has been observed that by
removing C1 and C2 from the evaluation board
has not shown to degrade RF performance.
The board is constructed of a two metal layer FR4
material with a total thickness of 0.031”. The
bottom layer provides ground for the RF
transmission lines. The transmission lines were
designed using a coplanar waveguide model with
trace width of 0.021”, trace gaps of 0.030”,
dielectric thickness of 0.028”, metal thickness of
0.0021” and
ε
r
of 4.6. Note that the predominate
mode for these transmission lines is coplanar
waveguide with a ground plane.
