Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid exceeding the specified rating. Table 5. Truth Table CTRL1 CTRL2 RFC–RF1 RFC–RF2 Low Low OFF OFF Low High OFF ON High Low ON OFF High High N/A* N/A* Note: * CTRL1 = High and CTRL2 = High are not supported Latch-Up Immunity Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up. Switching Frequency The PE42420 has a maximum 25 kHz switching frequency. Switching frequency describes the time duration between switching events. Switching time is the time duration between the point the control signal reaches 50% of the final value and the point the output signal reaches within 10% or 90% of its target value. Switching time is provided in Table 1. Document No. DOC-89737-6 │ www.psemi.com Moisture Sensitivity Level The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the PE42420 in the 20-lead 4 × 4 mm LGA package is MSL3. Spurious Performance The typical spurious performance of the PE42420 is –155 dBm. For operation between 20 MHz and 100 MHz: This device uses a negative voltage generator that has a fundamental frequency of approximately 11 MHz. This will result in harmonics spurious in the 20 to 100 MHz band at approximately -110 dBm or lower. Users should consider the effect of these on their system noise figure or receiver sensitivity. ©2018–2022 pSemi Corp. All rights reserved.

Evaluation Board Layout The SPDT switch evaluation board was designed to ease customer evaluation of pSemi’s PE42420. The RF common port is connected through a 50Ω transmission line via the top SMA connector, J2. RF1 and RF2 ports are connected through 50Ω transmission lines via SMA connectors J1 and J3, respectively. A 50Ω through transmission line is available via SMA connectors J4 and J5, which can be used to calculate the loss of the PCB. J6 provides DC and digital inputs to the device. The board is constructed of a four metal layer material with a total thickness of 36 mils. To achieve high isolation, the 50Ω transmission lines are designed in layer 2 using a stripline waveguide design. The board stack up for 50Ω transmission lines has 10 mil thickness of Rogers 4350 between layer 1 and layer 2, and 10 mil thickness of Rogers 4350 between layer 2 and layer 3. For the true performance of the PE42420 to be realized, the PCB should be designed in such a way that RF transmission lines and sensitive DC I/O traces are heavily isolated from one another.
