PE95420-99 - Peregrine Semiconductor Corp.

Page 1 of 11

The PE95420 is an RF SPDT (single pole double throw) switch

and is available in a hermetically sealed ceramic package. The

PE95420 is designed to cover a broad range of applications

from 1 to 8500 MHz for use in various Hi-Rel industries and

applications requiring broadband performance. It uses

Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™ process and features HaRP™

technology enhancements to deliver high linearity and

exceptional harmonics performance. HaRP technology is an

innovative feature of the UltraCMOS™ process providing

upgraded linearity performance.

The PE95420 is an absorptive/non-reflective switch design

which is an ideal termination method for RF elements in a

system design. A single-pin 3.3V CMOS logic control in a

single chip solution reduces the number of control lines.

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

rate specified.

Exposed Solder Pad Connection

The exposed solder pad on the bottom of the package

must be grounded for proper device operation.

Latch-Up Avoidance

Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™

devices are immune to latch-up.

Switching Frequency

The PE95420 has a maximum 25 kHz switching rate.

Table 5. Absolute Maximum Ratings

Table 3. Operating Ranges

Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause

permanent damage. Operation should be restricted to

the limits in the Operating Ranges table. Operation

between operating range maximum and absolute

maximum for extended periods may reduce reliability.

Figure 25. Evaluation Kit Schematic

Peregrine Specification 102-0417

Figure 24. Evaluation Board Layout

Peregrine Specification 101-0345 The SPDT switch EK Board was designed to ease

customer evaluation of Peregrine’s PE95420. The RF

common port is connected through a 50 Ω transmission

line via the top SMA connector, J1. RF1 and RF2 are

connected through 50 Ω transmission lines via SMA

connectors J2 and J3, respectively. A through 50 Ω

transmission is available via SMA connectors J5 and

J6. This transmission line can be used to estimate the

loss of the PCB over the environmental conditions

being evaluated.

The evaluation kit board is constructed of four metal

layers. The dual clad top RF layer is Rogers RO4003

material with an 8 mil RF core and er = 3.55. The other

two dielectric layers are FR4 for DC control and overall

board strength with an cumulative board thickness of

62 mils. The RF transmission lines were designed

using a Grounded co-planar waveguide with a linewidth

of 15 mils and gap of 7 mils.
