Product Specification PE4235 SPDT UltraCMOS™ RF Switch DC - 4000 MHz Product Description The PE4235 RF Switch is designed to cover a broad range of applications from near DC to 4000 MHz. This single-supply reflective switch integrates on-board CMOS control logic driven by a simple, single-pin CMOS or TTL control input. Using a nominal +3-volt power supply, a 1 dB compression point of +15 dBm can be achieved. The PE4235 also exhibits outstanding isolation of better than 40 dB at 1000 MHz and is offered in a small 3x3 mm DFN package. Features • Single 3.0-volt power supply • Low insertion loss: 0.40 dB at 1000 MHz, 0.45 dB at 2000 MHz • High isolation of 40 dB at 1000 MHz, 30 dB at 2000 MHz • Typical 1 dB compression point of +15 dBm The PE4235 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. • Single-pin CMOS or TTL logic control • Available in a 6-lead DFN package Figure 1.

For flexibility to support systems that have 5-volt control logic drivers, the control logic input has been designed to handle a standard 5-volt TTL control signal. This TTL control signal input must not exceed 5-volts or damage to the switch could result. CMOS or TTL logic level: High = RFC to RF1 signal path 6 Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values listed in the above table. Exceeding these values may cause permanent device damage. Functional operation should be restricted to the limits in the DC Electrical Specifications table. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The RF common port is connected through a 50 Ω transmission line to the top left SMA connector, J1. Port 1 and Port 2 are connected through 50 Ω transmission lines to the top two SMA connectors on the right side of the board, J2 and J3. A through transmission line connects SMA connectors J4 and J5. This transmission line can be used to estimate the loss of the PCB over the environmental conditions being evaluated. Figure 12. Evaluation Board Layouts Peregrine Specification 101/0085 The board is constructed of a two metal layer FR4 material with a total thickness of 0.031”. The bottom layer provides ground for the RF transmission lines. The transmission lines were designed using a coplanar waveguide with ground plane model using a trace width of 0.0476”, trace gaps of 0.030”, dielectric thickness of 0.028”, metal thickness of 0.0021” and εr of 4.4. J6 provides a means for controlling DC and digital inputs to the device. Starting from the lower left pin, the second pin to the right (J6-3) is connected to the device CTRL input. The fourth pin to the right (J6-7) is connected to the device VDD input. A decoupling capacitor (100 pF) is provided on both CTRL and VDD traces. It is the responsibility of the customer to determine proper supply decoupling for their design application. Removing these components from the evaluation board has not been shown to degrade RF performance. Document No. 70-0069-03 │ www.psemi.com Figure 13.
