Richardson RFPD RF and Microwave Switch PE42540G-Z

The PE42540 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced absorptive SP4T RF switch developed on UltraCMOS® process technology. This switch is designed specifically to support the requirements of the test equipment and ATE market. It comprises four symmetric RF ports and has very high isolation. An on-chip CMOS decode logic facilitates a two-pin low voltage CMOS control interface and an optional external VSS feature. High ESD tolerance and no blocking capacitor requirements make this the ultimate in integration and ruggedness. The PE42540 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.
