Product Specification
PE42556 Flip Chip
Product Description
The PE42556 RF switch is designed for use in Test/ATE,
cellular and other wireless applications. This broadband
general purpose switch maintains excellent RF
performance and linearity from 9 kHz through
13500 MHz. The PE42556 integrates on-board CMOS
control logic driven by a single-pin, low voltage CMOS
control input. It also has a logic select pin which enables
changing the logic definition of the control pin. Additional
features include a novel user defined logic table, enabled
by the on-board CMOS circuitry. The PE42556 also
exhibits excellent isolation of 26 dB at 13500 MHz, fast
settling time, and is offered in a tiny Flip Chip package.
The PE42556 is manufactured on Peregrine’s
UltraCMOS
®
process, a patented variation of silicon-on-
insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate,
offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and
integration of conventional CMOS.
