This general purpose switch maintains excellent linearity, high RF performance and fast settling time making this device ideal for test and measurement (T&M), automated test equipment (ATE) and other high performance wireless applications. The PE42553 is a pin-compatible version of the PE42552 with improved power handling capability of 36 dBm continuous wave (CW) and 38 dBm pulsed power in 50 at 8 GHz. No blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is not present on the RF ports. The PE42553 is manufactured on pSemi's UltraCMOS(R) process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate. (c)2016, 2018 pSemi Corporation.

It is an innovative feature of the UltraCMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS. Optional External VSS For proper operation, the VSS_EXT pin must be grounded or tied to the VSS voltage specified in Table 2. When the VSS_EXT pin is grounded, FETs in the switch are biased with an internal negative voltage generator. For applications that require the lowest possible spur performance, VSS_EXT can be applied externally to bypass the internal negative voltage generator. Absolute Maximum Ratings Exceeding absolute maximum ratings listed in Table 1 may cause permanent damage. Operation should be restricted to the limits in Table 2. Operation between operating range maximum and absolute maximum for extended periods may reduce reliability. ESD Precautions When handling this UltraCMOS device, observe the same precautions as with any 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 1. Latch-up Immunity Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up.

DOC-76991-2 - (11/2018) Page 5 of 20 www.psemi.com PE42553 SPDT RF Switch Switching Frequency Control Logic The PE42553 has a maximum 25 kHz switching rate in normal mode (pin 13 tied to ground). A faster switching rate is available in bypass mode (pin 13 tied to VSS_EXT). The rate at which the PE42553 can be switched is then limited to the switching time as specified in Table 3. Table 5 provides the control logic truth table for the PE42553. Table 5 * Truth Table for PE42553 Switching frequency describes the time duration between switching events. Switching time is the time duration between the point the control signal reached 50% of the final value and the point the output signal reaches within 10% or 90% of its target value. Spur-Free Performance The typical spurious performance of the PE42553 in normal mode is -152 dBm (pin 13 tied to ground). If spur-free performance is desired, the internal negative voltage generator can be disabled by applying a negative voltage to VSS_EXT (pin 13).

Thermal Data Psi-JT (JT), junction top-of-package, is a thermal metric to estimate junction temperature of a device on the customer application PCB (JEDEC JESD51-2). JT = (TJ - TT)/P where JT = junction-to-top of package characterization parameter, C/W TJ = die junction temperature, C TT = package temperature (top surface, in the center), C P = power dissipated by device, Watts Table 4 * Thermal Data for PE42553 Parameter Typ Unit JT 41 C/W JA, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance 93 C/W Page 6 of 20 DOC-76991-2 - (11/2018) www.psemi.com PE42553 SPDT RF Switch Figure 2 * Power De-rating Curve for 9 kHz-10 MHz @ 25 C Ambient (50)(*) Note: * VSS_EXT = -VDD. 2.6 Vdd 2.8 Vdd 3.0 Vdd 3.2 Vdd 3.4 Vdd 40 35 Input Power (dBm) 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 1 10 100 1000 10000 Frequency (kHz) Figure 3 * Power De-rating Curve for 9 kHz-10 MHz @ 85 C Ambient (50)(*) Note: * VSS_EXT = -VDD. 2.6 VDD 2.8 VDD 3.0 VDD 3.2 VDD 3.4 VDD 40 35 Input Power (dBm) 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 1 10 100 1000 10000 Frequency (kHz) DOC-76991-2 - (11/2018) Page 7 of 20 www.psemi.com PE42553 SPDT RF Switch Figure 4 * Power De-rating Curve for 10 MHz-8 GHz @ 25 C Ambient (50)(*) Note: * Normal mode at 2.3V VDD 5.5V and VSS_EXT = 0V, Bypass mode at VDD = 3.4V and VSS_EXT = -3.4V.

The RF common port is connected through a 50 transmission line via the SMA connector, J1. RF1 and RF2 ports are connected through 50 transmission lines via SMA connectors J2 and J3, respectively. A 50 through transmission line is available via SMA connectors J5 and J6, which can be used to de-embed the loss of the PCB. J4 provides DC and digital inputs to the device. For the true performance of the PE42553 to be realized, the PCB must be designed in such a way that RF transmission lines and sensitive DC I/O traces are well isolated from one another.
