Product Description
The PE42524 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced reflective SPDT RF switch die that supports a wide frequency
range from 10 MHz to 40 GHz. This wideband flip-chip switch delivers high isolation performance, excellent
linearity and low insertion loss, making this device ideal for test and measurement (T&M), microwave backhaul,
radar and military communications (mil-comm) applications. At 30 GHz, the PE42524 exhibits 17 dB active port
return loss, 47 dB isolation and 2.2 dB insertion loss. No blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is not
present on the RF ports.
The PE42524 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator
(SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate.

PE42524
SPDT RF Switch
Peregrine’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.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Exceeding absolute maximum ratings listed in Table 1 may cause permanent damage. Operation should be
restricted to the limits in Table 2. Operation between operating range maximum and absolute maximum for
extended periods may reduce reliability.
ESD Precautions
When handling this UltraCMOS device, observe the same precautions as with any 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 in Table 1.
Latch-up Immunity
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up.

Recommended Evaluation Setup
The PE42524 s-parameter data and input 1dB compression point from 22–40 GHz (Table 3 and Figure 3–
Figure 12) were taken using grounded co-planar waveguide (CPWG) on the alumina substrate (shown in
Figure 13) and RF probes.
The PE42524 2nd harmonic, 2fo rejection, input 1dB compression point below 18 GHz, input IP3 measurements, settling time and switching time (Table 3) were taken on a PCB using 2.92 mm connectors.
Bypass capacitors are not required.
