Product Description
The PE42556 RF Switch is designed for use in Test/ATE,
cellular and other wireless applications. This broadband general
purpose switch maintains excellent RF performance and
linearity from 9kHz through 13500 MHz. The PE42556
integrates on-board CMOS control logic driven by a single-pin,
low voltage CMOS control input. It also has a logic select pin
which enables changing the logic definition of the control pin.
Additional features include a novel user defined logic table,
enabled by the on-board CMOS circuitry. The PE42556 also
exhibits excellent isolation of 26 dB at 13500 MHz, fast settling
time, and is offered in a tiny Flip Chip package.
The PE42556 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™
process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance of
GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.
