The PE42524 is a SPDT RF switch die based on Peregrine UltraCMOS RF SOI process. It supports a wide frequency range from 10 MHz to 40 GHz and delivers exceptionally high port-to-port isolation, low insertion loss and excellent linearity. The switch has an isolation of 47 dB and an insertion loss of 2.2 dB at 30 GHz, as well as 50 dBm IIP3 at 13.5 GHz. It has a fast switching time of 225 nanoseconds, a fast settling time of 840 nanoseconds and a high ESD rating of 2000V HBM on all pins. Unlike GaAs solutions, no blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is not present on the RF ports. The PE42524 is available as a flip-chip die with 500 microns bump pitch, which eliminates high-frequency performance variations due to bond wire length variances.
