PE42742 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The PE42742 from Peregrine Semiconductor is an SPDT UltraCMOS switch engineered for broadband applications including CATV, DTV, multi-tuner DVR, set-top boxes, PCTV, and game boxes. It operates across a wide frequency range from 5 MHz to beyond 2200 MHz, utilizing a single positive supply and CMOS control.

This switch meets FCC 15.115 specifications with 80 dB isolation at 216 MHz. It provides high isolation (up to 94 dB typical) and low insertion loss (typically 0.45 dB at 5 MHz, 1.7 dB maximum). The PE42742 also features an unpowered operational state, 3500 V HBM ESD tolerance, and a CTB performance of 90 dBc.

Packaged in a 4x4 mm 20-lead QFN, the PE42742 offers a smaller, cost-effective, and more reliable alternative to mechanical relays in set-top box applications. It requires a single +3V supply and consumes low current (8 μA typical).

Key electrical specifications include a P1dB/P0.1dB of 32 dBm, IIP3 of 53 dBm, and a maximum power rating of 33 dBm. The switching time is 3 µs.
