Product Specification PE42556 Flip Chip UltraCMOS(R) SPDT RF Switch 9 kHz - 13500 MHz Product Description The PE42556 RF switch is designed for use in Test/ATE, cellular and other wireless applications. This broadband general purpose switch maintains excellent RF performance and linearity from 9 kHz through 13500 MHz. The PE42556 integrates on-board CMOS control logic driven by a single-pin, low voltage CMOS control input. It also has a logic select pin which enables changing the logic definition of the control pin. Additional features include a novel user defined logic table, enabled by the on-board CMOS circuitry. The PE42556 also exhibits excellent isolation of 26 dB at 13500 MHz, fast settling time, and is offered in a tiny Flip Chip package. The PE42556 is manufactured on Peregrine's UltraCMOS(R) process, a patented variation of silicon-oninsulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.

Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid exceeding the rating specified. Latch-Up Avoidance Note: 3. Use VSS (bump 1, VSS = -VDD) to bypass and disable internal negative voltage generator. Connect VSS (bump 1) to GND (VSS = 0V) to enable internal negative voltage generator. Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up. Table 3.

Switching Frequency The PE42556 has a maximum 25 kHz switching rate when the internal negative voltage generator is used (bump1 = GND). The rate at which the PE42556 can be switched is only limited to the switching time (Table 1) if an external negative supply is provided (bump1 = VSS). (c)2009-2012 Peregrine Semiconductor Corp.

The upper limit curve represents the maximum Input Power vs Vdd recommended for this part at low frequencies only. Please consult Table 3 for the 1 MHz 13.5 GHz range. Figure 5 shows how the power limit in Figure 4 will increase with frequency. As the frequency increases, the contours and Maximum Power Limit Curve will increase with the increase in power handling shown on the curve. Figure 4.

Evaluation Board Layouts Evaluation Kit Peregrine Specification 101/0402 The SPDT switch EK Board was designed to ease customer evaluation of Peregrine's PE42556 (dual use with PE42554). The RF Common port is connected through a 50 ohm transmission line via the top SMA connector, J1. RF1 and RF2 are connected through 50 ohm transmission lines via SMA connectors J3, and J2, respectively. A through 50 ohm transmission line is available via SMA connectors J4 and J5. 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 layers with a total thickness of 62 mils. The top and bottom layers are ROGERS RO4003 material with an 8 mil core and Er = 3.55. The middle layers provide ground for the transmission lines. The RF transmission lines were designed using a coplanar waveguide with ground plane model using a trace width of 15 mils, and trace gaps of 10 mils. X Figure 7.
