PE42540
UltraCMOS SP4T RF Switch
10 Hz 8 GHz
Product Description
Features
The PE42540 is a HaRP technology-enhanced
absorptive SP4T RF switch developed on UltraCMOS
HaRP technology enhanced
process technology. This switch is designed specifically
Fast settling time
to support the requirements of the test equipment and
Eliminates gate and phase lag
ATE market. It comprises four symmetric RF ports and
No drift in insertion loss and phase
has very high isolation. An on-chip CMOS decode logic
facilitates a two-pin low voltage CMOS control interface
High linearity: 58 dBm IIP3
and an optional external V feature. High ESD
