Product Specification
PE4230
Product Description
The PE4230 UltraCMOS™ RF Switch is designed to cover a
broad range of applications from DC through 3000 MHz. This
single-supply reflective switch integrates on-board CMOS
control logic driven by a simple, single-pin CMOS or TTL
compatible control input. Using a nominal +3-volt power supply,
a typical input 1 dB compression point of +32 dBm can be
achieved. The PE4230 also exhibits input-output isolation of
better than 39 dB at 1000 MHz and is offered in a small 8-lead
MSOP package.
The PE4230 SPDT High Power UltraCMOS™ 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.

The control logic input pin (CTRL) is typically
driven by a 3-volt CMOS logic level signal, and
has a threshold of 50% of V
DD
. For flexibility to
support systems that have 5-volt control logic driv-
ers, the control logic input has been designed to
handle a 5-volt logic HIGH signal. (A minimal cur-
rent will be sourced out of the V
DD
pin when the
control logic input voltage level exceeds V
DD
.)

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 in Table 4.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values
listed in the above table. Exceeding these values
may cause permanent device damage.
Functional operation should be restricted to the
limits in the DC Electrical Specifications table.
Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

PE4230
Product Specification
Evaluation Kit
The SPDT Switch Evaluation Kit board was
designed to ease customer evaluation of the
PE4230 SPDT switch. The RF common port is
connected through a 50
Ω
transmission line to the
top left SMA connector, J1. Port 1 and Port 2 are
connected through 50
Ω
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.
