PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATION
PE4230
Product Description
The PE4230 High Power MOSFET RF Switch is
designed to cover a broad range of uses in the 10 MHz
through 2.5 GHz frequency range. This switch integrates
on-board CMOS control logic with a low voltage CMOS
compatible control input. Using nominal power supply
voltages, a 1 dB compression point of +30 dBm can be
achieved.
The PE4230 High Power 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 in Table 3.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UTSi CMOS
devices are immune to latch-up.
