Product Specification
PE4240
SPST UltraCMOS™ CATV Switch
DC - 1300 MHz
Product Description
The PE4240 is a high-isolation MOSFET Switch designed for
CATV applications, covering a broad frequency range from
DC up to 1.3 GHz. This single-supply SPST switch offers a
single-pin CMOS control interface with industry leading CTB
performance. It also provides low insertion loss, high isolation
and extremely low bias requirements while operating on a
single 3-volt supply. In a typical CATV application, the
PE4240 provides for a cost effective and manufacturable
solution vs. mechanical relays.
Features
• 75-ohm switch
• Non-reflective at RF1, open reflective
at RF2 when OFF
• Integrated 0.25 watt terminations
• CTB performance of 100dBc
• High isolation: 85 dB at 5 MHz, 47 dB
at 1 GHz
• Low insertion loss: 0.5 dB at 5 MHz,
The PE4240 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.
0.75 dB at 1 GHz
• High input IP2: >80 dBm
• CMOS/TTL single-pin control
• Single +3 volt supply operation
