Product Specification
PE4257
50 ΩSPDT Absorptive UltraCMOS™
DC – 3.0 GHz RF Switch
Product Description
The PE4257 is a high-isolation UltraCMOS™ Switch designed
for wireless applications, covering a broad frequency range
from near DC up to 3000 MHz. This single-supply SPDT
switch integrates a two-pin CMOS control interface. It also
provides low insertion loss with extremely low bias
requirements while operating on a single 3-volt supply. In a
typical wireless application, the PE4257 provides
unprecedented isolation and integration.
Features
• 50 Ω characteristic impedance
• Integrated 50 Ω 0.25 watt terminations
• High input IP3 > +55 dBm
• High isolation 64 dB at 1000 MHz
• Low insertion loss: typically 0.75 dB
at 1000 MHz and 0.95 dB at 2000 MHz
• LV CMOS two-pin control
The PE4257 is manufactured in Peregrine’s patented Ultra
Thin Silicon (UTSi®) CMOS process, offering the performance
of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional
CMOS.
• Single +3 volt supply operation
• Low current consumption: 8 µA
