Product Specification
PE42510A
The PE42510A is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS
Product Description
The following specification defines an SPDT (single pole
double throw) switch for use in cellular and other wireless
applications. The PE42510A uses Peregrine’s UltraCMOS ?
process and it also features HaRP? technology
enhancements to deliver high linearity and exceptional
harmonics performance. HaRP? technology is an innovative
feature of the UltraCMOS ? process providing upgraded
linearity performance.
?
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.

Notes: 1. The device was matched with 1.6 nH inductance per RF port
2. For high power applications, harmonics settling needs to be accounted for. Harmonics settling time is defined to be 50% of CTRL to
2fo/3fo within 3 dB of final value
3. For RF input power (50 ? ) > 31 dBm, and operation above 30 MHz, the switching time and harmonics settling time is 100 μs Max
