Product Description
The PE42823 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced 50Ω SPDT RF protection switch designed for use in high
power and high performance wireless infrastructure applications such as macrocells supporting frequencies up
to 6 GHz.
This switch features high linearity, which remains invariant across the full supply range. The PE42823 also
features exceptional isolation, fast switching time and is offered in a 16-lead 3 × 3 × 0.75 mm QFN package. In
addition, no external blocking capacitors are required if 0 VDC is present on the RF ports.
The PE42823 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS
®
process, a patented advanced form of silicon-on-
insulator (SOI) technology.
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.

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.
