Product Description
The PE42520 SPDT absorptive RF switch is designed for use in Test/ATE and other high performance wireless applications. This broadband general purpose switch maintains excellent RF performance and linearity from 9 kHz through 13 GHz. This switch is a pin-compatible upgraded version of PE42552 with higher power handling of 36 dBm continuous wave (CW) and 38 dBm instantaneous power in 50Ω @ 8 GHz. The PE42520 exhibits high isolation, fast settling time, and is offered in a 3 × 3 mm QFN package.
The PE42520 is manufactured on pSemi’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
