Product Description
The PE42020 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced SPDT True DC RF switch that operates from zero Hertz up to
8 GHz with integrated RF, analog and digital functions. The PE42020 can accommodate up to ±10V input DC
voltage on the RF ports. It can be configured as a 50Ω absorptive or an open reflective True DC switch via the
single LZ pin. The PE42020 True DC RF switch delivers excellent RF performance and high power handling
down to zero Hertz, making this device ideal for handling the complex combination of DC, RF/analog and digital
signals in test and measurement (T&M) and automated test equipment (ATE) applications.
The PE42020 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS
®
process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator
(SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate.
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.

UltraCMOS® True DC RF Switch
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.

Notes:
1) To maintain proper operation of the PE42020, a mismatch between V
DD
and V
SS
should not exceed a maximum of 8%. A large mismatch will
result in distortion appearing at the RF output at low frequencies. For example, V
DD
= +13.85V, V
SS
= –15V represents an 8% mismatch.
|13.85-15| / (13.85+15) / 2*100 = 8%.
2) 100% duty cycle, all bands 50Ω.
3) Pulsed, 5% duty cycle of 4620 µs period, 50Ω.
