The PE42528 from pSemi is a SPDT Reflective Switch that operates from 9 kHz to 30 GHz. It is a HaRP technology-enhanced reflective switch that is manufactured on pSemi’s UltraCMOS process, a patented variation of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology. This SP4T switch has an insertion loss of 2 dB, a switching speed of 8 ns, and provides an isolation of 66 dB. It can handle an input power of 29 dBm (CW) and has a return loss of 22.5 dB.
The PE42528 is equipped with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitries on both the input and output ports to ensure high safety. This UltraCMOS switch requires a control voltage of 2.7 to 3.3 V (high) and -3.3 V to -2.7 V (low) and consumes 0.39 µA of current. It is available in a land grid array (LGA) package that measures 3 x 3 mm. This switch is ideal for test and measurement, 5G mmWave, satellite communications, microwave backhaul, and radar applications.
