The rate at which the PE42520 can be switched is only limited to the switching time (Table 1) if an external negative supply is provided (pin 13 = VSS_EXT). 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 Optional External Vss Control (VSS_EXT ) For proper operation, the VSS_EXT control pin must be grounded or tied to the VSS voltage specified in Table 3. When the VSS_EXT control pin is grounded, FETs in the switch are biased with an internal negative voltage generator. For applications that require the lowest possible spur performance, VSS_EXT can be applied externally to bypass the Spurious Performance Notes: 1. 100% duty cycle, all bands, 50Ω. 2. Pulsed, 5% duty cycle of 4620 µs period, 50Ω. 3. Human Body Model (MIL-STD 883 Method 3015). 4. Machine Model (JEDEC JESD22-A115). 5. Charged Device Model (JEDEC JESD22-C101). Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage. Operation should be restricted to the limits in the Operating Ranges table. Operation between operating range maximum and absolute maximum for extended periods may reduce reliability. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions 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 exceeding the rating specified. The typical spurious performance of the PE42520 is –152 dBm when VSS_EXT = 0V (pin 13 = GND). If further improvement is desired, the internal negative voltage generator can be disabled by setting VSS_EXT = –3.4V. Table 5.

Evaluation Kit Layout The SPDT switch evaluation board was designed to ease customer evaluation of pSemi’s PE42520. The RF common port is connected through a 50Ω transmission line via the SMA connector, J1. RF1 and RF2 ports are connected through 50Ω transmission lines via SMA connectors J2 and J3, respectively. A 50Ω through transmission line is available via SMA connectors J5 and J6, which can be used to de-embed the loss of the PCB. J4 provides DC and digital inputs to the device. For the true performance of the PE42520 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.
