Charged Device Model (JEDEC JESD22-C101) The PE42851 has a maximum 10 kHz switching rate when the internal negative voltage generator is used (pin 16 = GND). The rate at which the PE42851 can be switched is only limited to the switching time (Table 1) if an external negative supply is provided (pin 16 = 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 voltage generator. For applications that require the lowest possible spur performance, VSS_EXT can be applied externally to bypass the internal negative 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. Spurious Performance Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions Table 5. Truth Table 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 Latch-Up Avoidance Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up. Moisture Sensitivity Level The typical spurious performance of the PE42851 is –130 dBm when VSS_EXT = 0V (pin 16 = GND). If further improvement is desired, the internal negative voltage generator can be disabled by setting VSS_EXT = –3.4V.

Table 6. Theta JC Parameter Theta JC (+85 °C) Min Typ 20 Max Unit C/W VSWR conditions that present short circuit loads to the part can cause significantly more power dissipation than with proper matching. Special consideration needs to be made in the design of the PCB to properly dissipate the heat away from the part and maintain the +85 °C maximum case temperature. It is recommended to use best design practices for high power QFN packages: multi-layer PCBs with thermal vias in a thermal pad soldered to the slug of the package. Special care also needs to be made to alleviate solder voiding under the part. ©2012-2022 pSemi Corporation All rights reserved.

Evaluation Board Layouts The PE42851 Evaluation Kit board was designed to ease customer evaluation of the PE42851 RF switch. The evaluation board in Figure 23 was designed to test the part in the 5T configuration. DC power is supplied through J10, with VDD on pin 9, and GND on the entire lower row of even numbered pins. To evaluate a switch path, add or remove jumpers on V1 (pin 3), V2 (pin 5), and V3 (pin 7) using Table 5 (adding a jumper pulls the CMOS control pin low and removing it allows the on-board pull-up resistor to set the CMOS control pin high). Pins 11 and 13 of J10 are N/C. The ANT port is connected through a 50Ω transmission line via the top SMA connector, J1. RX and TX paths are also connected through 50Ω transmission lines via SMA connectors. A 50Ω through transmission line is available via SMA connectors J8 and J9. This transmission line can be used to estimate the loss of the PCB over the environmental conditions being evaluated. An open-ended 50Ω transmission line is also provided at J7 for calibration if needed. Narrow trace widths are used near each part to improve impedance matching.
