Preliminary Specification
PE4274
Product Description
The PE4274 is an SPDT
UltraCMOS™
Switch designed for
Broadband applications such as CATV, DTV, Multi-Tuner
DVR (Digital Video Recorder), Set-top Box, PCTV and
Game Boxes. It offers high isolation and low insertion loss
in both a powered and a unique unpowered default state.
The PE4274 covers a broad frequency range from near DC
to beyond 2.2 GHz with a single positive supply and CMOS
control. The PE4274 provides a smaller, cost effective,
more reliable and manufacturable alternative to mechanical
relays in some set-top box applications.
The PE4274 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 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.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.
Switching Frequency
The PE4274 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
rate when the internal negative voltage generator
is used (pin 18 = GND). The rate at which the
PE4274 can be switched is only limited to the
switching time if an external -3 V supply is
provided at (pin 18 = V
SS
).
19
20
Pad
Notes:
1. RF pins 3, 8, and 13 must be at 0 VDC. The RF pins do not
require DC blocking capacitors for proper operation if the 0 V DC
requirement is met.
2. Pins 16 and 17 are the CMOS controls that set the four operating
states.
3. Connect pin 18 to GND to enable the negative voltage generator.
Connect pin 18 to V
SS
(-3V) to bypass and disable internal -3V supply
generator. See “Switching Frequency”.

Figure 4. Typical Application Block Diagram
The PE4274 provides the high isolation
required by FCC part 15.115 regulation
between the television antenna and the cable
plant. The advantage of the PE4274 is that
device isolation / thru performance is
maintained when power is removed. This
Antenna Input
unique feature makes the PE4274 ideal for set-top
box and VCR applications.
The PE4274 supports signal flow from RFC to
RF1 and RF2 termination in the unpowered state;
similar to the powered state with C1=High,
C2=Low.
