EK42440-02 - PEREGRINE SEMICONDUCTOR

Page 1 of 8

The PE42440 is a HaRP™-enhanced SP4T RF switch

developed on the UltraCMOS

®

process

technology. This general-purpose switch contains 4

identical RF ports and can be used in a multitude of

applications up to 3000 MHz. It integrates on-board

CMOS control logic with a low voltage CMOS-

compatible control interface and requires no DC

blocking capacitors. This RoHS-compliant part is

available in a standard 3 x 3 x 0.75 mm QFN package.

Peregrine’s HaRP™ technology enhancements deliver

high linearity and exceptional harmonics performance.

It is an innovative feature of the UltraCMOS

®

process,

providing performance superior to 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

specified rating.

Latch-Up Avoidance

Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS®

devices are immune to latch-up.

Evaluation Kit

The SP4T switch EK Board was designed to ease

customer evaluation of Peregrine’s PE42440. The

RF common port is connected through a 50

Ω

transmission line via the top SMA connector, J1.

RF1, RF2, RF3 and RF4 are connected through

50

Ω

transmission lines via SMA connectors J3,

J5, J2 and J4, respectively. A through 50

Ω

transmission is available via SMA connectors J6

and J7. This transmission line can be used to

estimate the loss of the PCB over the

environmental conditions being evaluated.

The board is constructed of a four metal layer FR4

material with a total thickness of 62 mils.

The middle layers provide ground for the

transmission lines. The transmission lines were

designed using a coplanar waveguide with ground

plane model using a trace width of 32 mils, trace

gaps of 25 mils, and metal thickness of 2.1 mils.
