PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATION
PE84244
Military Operating Temperature Range
Product Description
The PE84244 MOSFET RF Switch is designed to cover a
broad range of applications from DC to 3.0 GHz. This switch
integrates on-board CMOS control logic with a low voltage
CMOS compatible control input. Using a +3-volt nominal
power supply voltage, a 1 dB compression point of +27 dBm
can be achieved. The PE84244 also exhibits excellent
isolation of 28 dB at 2.0 GHz and is offered in a small 8-lead
MSOP package.
The PE4244 MOSFET RF Switch is manufactured in
Peregrine’s patented Ultra Thin Silicon (UTSi
) CMOS
process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy
and integration of conventional CMOS.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
When handling this UTSi 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.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UTSi CMOS
devices are immune to latch-up.

Evaluation Kit Information
Evaluation Kit
The SPDT Switch Evaluation Kit board was
designed to ease customer evaluation of the
PE84244 SPDT switch. The RF common port is
connected through a 50Ω transmission line to the
top left SMA connector, J1. Port 1 and Port 2 are
connected through 50Ω transmission lines to the
top two SMA connectors on the right side of the
board, J3 and J4. A through transmission line
connects SMA connectors J6 and J8. This
transmission line can be used to estimate the loss
of the PCB over the environmental conditions
being evaluated.
The board is constructed of a two metal layer FR4
material with a total thickness of 0.031”. The
bottom layer provides ground for the RF
transmission lines. The transmission lines were
designed using a coplanar waveguide with ground
plane model using a trace width of 0.030”, trace
gaps of 0.007”, dielectric thickness of 0.028”,
metal thickness of 0.0014” and
ε
r
of 4.4.
J2 provides a means for controlling DC and digital
inputs to the device. Starting from the lower left
pin, the second pin to the right (J2-3) is connected
to the device CNTL input. The fourth pin to the
right (J2-7) is connected to the device V
DD
input.
A decoupling capacitor (100 pF) is provided on
both CNTL and V
DD
traces. It is the responsibility
of the customer to determine proper supply
decoupling for their design application. Removing
these components from the evaluation board has
not been shown to degrade RF performance.
