Product Specification
PE42543
Product Description
The PE42543 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced
absorptive SP4T RF switch designed for use in Test/
ATE, microwave and other wireless applications. This
broadband general purpose switch is a pin-compatible
version of the PE42542 with faster switching time and
settling time. It exhibits low insertion loss, high isolation
and linearity performance from 9 kHz through 18
GHz. No blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is
not present on the RF ports.
The PE42543 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.

The PE42543 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
rate when the internal negative voltage generator
is used (pin 29 = GND). Switching frequency
describes the time duration between switching
events. Switching time is the duration between
the point the control signal reaches 50% of the
final value and the point the output signal reaches
within 10% or 90% of its target value.
Optional External V
SS
Control (V
SS_EXT
)
For proper operation, the V
SS_EXT
control pin must
be grounded or tied to the V
SS
voltage specified in
Table 3.
When the V
SS_EXT
control pin is
grounded, FETs in the switch are biased with an
internal negative voltage generator. For
applications that require the lowest possible spur
performance, V
SS_EXT
can be applied externally to
bypass the internal negative voltage generator.
Spurious Performance
The typical spurious performance of the PE42543
is –150 dBm when V
SS_EXT
= 0V (pin 29 = GND). If
further improvement is desired, the internal
negative voltage generator can be disabled by
setting V
SS_EXT
= –3.4V.

Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause
permanent damage. Operation should be
restricted to the limits in the Operating Ranges
table. Operation between operating range
maximum and absolute maximum for extended
periods may reduce reliability.
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.
Moisture Sensitivity Level
The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for the
PE42543 in the 29-lead 4
4
mm LGA package is
MSL3.
Hot-Switching Capability
The maximum hot switching capability of the
PE42543 is 20 dBm from 18.8 MHz to 18 GHz.
The maximum hot switching capability below
18.8 MHz does not exceed the maximum RF CW
terminated power, see
Figure 4.
Hot switching
occurs when RF power is applied while switching
between RF ports.
