pSemi PE42522B

The PE42522 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced absorptive SPDT RF switch that supports a broad frequency range from 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz. This broadband general purpose switch offers excellent isolation, high linearity performance and has exceptional settling time making this device ideal for many broadband wireless applications. No blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is not present on the RF ports. The PE42522 is manufactured on pSemi’s UltraCMOS process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate. pSemi’s HaRP technology enhancements deliver high linearity and excellent harmonics performance. It is an innovative feature of the UltraCMOS process, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.
