The PE42750 is an SPDT UltraCMOS® Switch designed
for Broadband applications such as CATV, DTV, Multi-
Tuner Digital Video Recorder (DVR ), Set-top Box, PCTV
and Video Game Consoles. The PE42750 meets FCC
15.115 specification of 80 dB isolation at 216 MHz in
both powered and unpowered states. The PE42750
covers a broad frequency range from 5 MHz to 2200
MHz with a single positive supply and CMOS control.
The PE42750 provides a smaller, cost effective, more
reliable and manufacturable alternative to mechanical
relays in set-top box applications.
The PE42750 is manufactured using Peregrine’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 of conventional CMOS.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
When handling this UltraCMOS® device, observe the same
precautions that you would use with other ESD-sensitiv e
devices. Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from
damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid
exceeding the rating specified.
Table 4. Operating Conditions @ 25°C
Notes: 1. RF pins 2, 5, and 8 must be at 0 VDC. The RF pins do not require
DC blocking capacitors for proper operation if the 0 V DC
requirement is met
2. Pins 10 and 11 can be set for single pin control
3. GND must be connected to exposed ground paddle to ensure
good isolation

Typical Applications
The PE42750 provide s the high isolation required by
FCC part 15.115 regulatio n between the television
antenna and the cable pla nt. The advantage of the
PE42750 is that device isolation performance is
maintained when power is removed. When the PE42750
is unpowered all ports are terminated.

The SPDT Switch Evaluation Kit facilitates
customer evaluation of the PE42750 SPDT switch.
The RF common port is connected through a 75
transmission line to J2. Ports 1 and 2 are
connected through 75 transmission lines to J1
and J3. A through line connects F connectors J4
and J5. This transmission line can be used to
estimate the PCB loss over the environmental
conditions. J6 provides DC and digital inputs to the
device.
The board is composed of a two metal layer FR4
material with a total thickness of 0.032”. The
transmission lines are hybrid microstrip/coplanar
waveguide with ground plane (28 mil core, 12 mil
width, 12 mil gap).
The provided jumpers short the control pins to
ground for logic low. With the jumper removed the
control input rises to VDD for logic high through the
1 MΩ pull up resistor. These resistors will draw
several microamps from VDD. They are not required
for normal operation.
