PE42441 Datasheet, PDF (1/12 Pages) Peregrine Semiconductor – UltraCMOS® SP4T RF Switch

Product Description
The PE42441 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced
absorptive SP4T RF switch designed for use in various
switching applications spanning multiple markets
including wireless infrastructure, broadband, and test &
measurement.
This switch has four symmetric RF ports and delivers low
insertion loss and exceptional isolation. An on-chip
CMOS decode logic facilitates a two-pin low voltage
CMOS control interface. In addition, no external blocking
capacitors are required if 0 VDC is present on RF ports.
The PE42441 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.
