PE42424 Datasheet, PDF (1/11 Pages) Peregrine Semiconductor – UltraCMOS SPDT RF Switch 100 MHz–6 GHz

Product Description
The PE42424 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced
reflective 50Ω SPDT RF switch designed for use in high
power and high performance WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
applications such as carrier and enterprise Wi-Fi products
supporting bandwidths up to 6 GHz.
This switch features exceptional port-to-port isolation, fast
switching speed, and high power handling, all in a
compact 1.5  1.5 mm package. PE42424 also features
high linearity that remains invariant over the full power
supply range. In addition, this device has robust ESD and
temperature performance and does not require blocking
capacitors or any external matching components.
The PE42424 is manufactured on Peregrine’s
UltraCMOS^® process, a patented variation of silicon-on-
insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate.
Peregrine’s HaRP technology enhancements deliver high
linearity and excellent harmonics performance. It is an
innovative feature of the UltraCMOS process, offering the
performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of
conventional CMOS.
