Switching Frequency
The PE42520 has a maximum 25 kHz switching
rate when the internal negative voltage generator
is used (pin 13 = GND). The rate at which the
PE42520 can be switched is only limited to the
switching time (Table
1)
if an external negative
supply is provided (pin 13 = Vss
EXT
).
Switching frequency describes the time duration
between switching events. Switching time is the
time 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.

For proper operation, the Vss
EXT
control pin must
be grounded or tied to the Vss voltage specified in
Table 3.
When the Vss
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,
Vss
EXT
can be applied externally to bypass the
internal negative voltage generator.
Spurious Performance
The typical spurious performance of the PE42520
is -152 dBm when Vss
EXT
= 0V (pin 13 = GND). If
further improvement is desired, the internal
negative voltage generator can be disabled by
setting Vss
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.
