Product Specification PE42442 UltraCMOS® SP4T RF Switch 30 MHz–6 GHz Product Description The PE42442 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced absorptive SP4T RF switch designed for use in 3G/4G wireless infrastructure and other high performance RF applications. This switch is a pin-compatible four throw version of the PE42451 with a wider frequency and power supply range. It is comprised of four symmetric RF ports with very high isolation up to 6 GHz. An integrated CMOS decoder facilitates a two- or three-pin 1.8V CMOS control interface. In addition, no external blocking capacitors are required if 0 VDC is present on the RF ports. The PE42442 is manufactured on pSemi’s UltraCMOS® process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate. pSemi’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.

Truth Table (3-pin control)* When handling this UltraCMOS device, observe the same precautions that you would use with other ESD-sensitive devices. Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid Mode V3 V2 V1 Unsupported 0 0 0 RF1 on 0 0 1 RF2 on 0 1 0 RF3 on 0 1 1 RF4 on 1 0 0 Latch-Up Avoidance All off 1 0 1 Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up. All off 1 1 0 Unsupported 1 1 1 Switching Frequency The PE42442 has a maximum 25 kHz switching rate in normal mode (pin 20 = GND). A faster switching rate is available in bypass mode (pin 20 = VSS_EXT ). The rate at which the PE42442 can be switched is then limited to the switching time as specified in Table 1. 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 Moisture Sensitivity Level The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the PE42442 in the 24-lead 4 4 mm QFN package is MSL1. Note: * 3-pin control intended for legacy product support to PE42450 and PE42451 or if All Off mode is required. Logic States 000 and 111 are unsupported and should not be used under any operating conditions. Table 6A.

Pin 19 = V3 must be grounded. 2. 2-pin control is recommended for new product designs if All Off mode is not required. Optional External VSS Control (VSS_EXT) For applications the require a faster switching rate or spur-free performance, this part can be operated in bypass mode. Bypass mode requires an external negative voltage in addition to an external VDD supply voltage. As specified in Table 3, the external negative voltage (VSS_EXT) when applied to pin 20 will disable and bypass the internal negative voltage Spurious Performance The typical low-frequency spurious performance of the PE42442 in normal mode is –120 dBm (pin 20 = GND). If spur-free performance is desired, the internal negative voltage generator can be disabled by applying a negative voltage to VSS_EXT (pin 20). ©2013-2021 pSemi Corporation All rights reserved.

The RF common port is connected through a 50Ω transmission line via the top SMA connector. RF1, RF2, RF3, and RF4 are connected through 50Ω transmission lines via side SMA connectors. A through 50Ω transmission is available via SMA connectors RFCAL1 and RFCAL2. This transmission line can be used to estimate the loss of the PCB over the environmental conditions being evaluated. The EVK board is constructed with four metal layers on dielectric materials of Rogers 4003C and 4450 with a total thickness of 32 mils. Layer 1 and layer 3 provide ground for the 50Ω transmission lines. The 50Ω transmission lines are designed in layer 2 for high isolation purpose and use a stripline waveguide design with a trace width of 9.4 mils and trace metal thickness of 1.8 mils. The board stack up for 50Ω transmission lines has 8 mil thickness of Rogers 4003C between layer 1 and layer 2, and 10 mil thickness of Rogers 4450 between layer 2 and layer 3. Please consult manufacturer's guidelines for proper board material properties in your application. The PCB should be designed in such a way that RF transmission lines and sensitive DC I/O traces such as VSS_EXT are heavily isolated from one another, otherwise the true performance of the PE42442 will not be yielded. ©2013-2021 pSemi Corporation All rights reserved.
