Product Description
The PE42822 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced absorptive 50Ω SPDT RF protection switch designed for use in
high power and high performance wireless infrastructure applications such a mid-power microcell products,
supporting frequencies up to 3.8 GHz.
This switch features high linearity, which remains invariant across the full supply range. The PE42822 also
features exceptional isolation, fast switching time and is offered in a 16-lead 3 × 3 mm QFN package. In
addition, no external blocking capacitors are required if 0 VDC is present on the RF ports.
The PE42822 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator
(SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate.
Peregrine’ s HaRP technology enhancement s deliver h igh linearity and excelle nt harmonics per formance. It is an
innovative feature of the UltraCMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and
integration of conventional CMOS.

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.

Evaluation Kit
The SPDT switch evaluation board was designed to ease customer evaluation of Peregrine’s PE42822. The RF
common port is connected through a 50Ω transmission line via the SMA connector, J1. RF1 and RF2 ports are
connected through 50Ω transmission lines via SMA connectors J2 and J3, respectively. A 50Ω through trans-
mission 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 PE42822 to be realized, the PCB should be designed in such a way that RF
transmission lines and sensitive DC I/O traces are heavily isolated from one another.
