Preliminary Specification
PE42660 DIE
Product Description
The PE42660 is a HaRP™-enhanced SP6T RF Switch
developed on the UltraCMOS™ process technology. It
addresses the specific design needs of the Quad-Band GSM
Handset Antenna Switch Module Market. On-chip CMOS
decode logic facilitates three-pin low voltage CMOS control,
while high ESD tolerance of 1500 V at all ports, no blocking
capacitor requirements, and on-chip SAW filter over-voltage
protection devices make this the ultimate in integration and
ruggedness.
Peregrine’s HaRP™ technology enhancements deliver high
linearity and exceptional harmonics performance. It is an
innovative feature of the UltraCMOS™ process, providing
performance superior to 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-sensitive devices. Although this device
contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to
ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid
exceeding the specified rating.
Latch-Up Avoidance
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS™
devices are immune to latch-up.

Notes: 2. Bond wires should be physically short and connected to
ground plane for best performance.
3. Blocking capacitors needed only when non-zero DC
voltage present.

PE42660
Preliminary Specification
Evaluation Kit
The SP6T Evaluation Kit board was designed to
ease customer evaluation of the PE42660 RF
switch.
The PE42660 has two high power TX ports and four
high isolation RX ports. The TX ports are symmetric
and are designed as paths for the 850, 900, 1800, or
1900 MHz bands. The RX ports are also symmetric
and can be assigned to any of these frequency
bands.
The ANT port connects through a 50
Ω
transmission
line to the top SMA connector, J1. The RX and TX
ports connect through 50
Ω
transmission lines to
SMA connectors J2 – J7. A through 50
Ω
transmission line between SMA connectors J9 and
J10 allows estimation of the PCB losses over
environmental conditions. An open transmission line
connected to J11 is also provided.
J8 supplies DC power to the pin marked V
DD
and the
bottom row of pins, which is GND. 1 MΩ pull-up
resistors are connected from V
DD
to each of the three
control logic inputs: V1, V2, and V3. These pull-up
resistors are provided for ease of evaluation on this
board and are not required for the PE42660 to
operate.
Adding a jumper between a control pin and the
adjacent GND pin on the bottom row of J8 will set a
logic-0 on that control pin. Removing the jumper will
set a logic-1. To evaluate the PE42660, add or
remove jumpers according to the truth table in
Table 5.

Wafer and Die Packaging
Peregrine Semiconductor has two methods for shipping
dice to our customers. The shipping option used is
based on the customer’s requirements and the number
of dice.
Peregrine offers product dice in two packaging options:
Standard Die Carrier Packages (waffle pack) and dice
on Film Frames.

Wafer Mount/Dicing
In preparation for dicing, wafers are thinned and
polished and 100% electrically probed prior to
mounting on film frame tape and rings. Figure 6 shows
a wafer mounted on film frame using PVC backed
mounting tape. In preparation for shipment, wafers are
visually inspected after singulation and shipped with an
electronic map file providing good dice locations.

Storage and Preservation
Proper storage conditions are necessary to prevent
product contamination and/or degradation after
shipment.
Product should be stored in the original unopened
packaging or, once opened, in a nitrogen purged
cabinet at room temperature (45% + 15% relative
humidity controlled environment).
Singulated wafers mounted on film frames are intended
for immediate use and have a limited shelf life. This is
primarily due to the nature of the adhesive tape used
for mounting the product. This product can be stored
up to 30 days. This applies whether or not the material
has remained in its original sealed container. To reduce
the risk of contamination or degradation, it is
recommended that product not being used in the
assembly process be returned to their original
containers and resealed with a vacuum seal process.

Standard Die Carrier Package/Waffle Pack
Waffle packs are available to customers during product
development and prototyping phase only. Orders will
move to film frames at production launch or for large
quantity requirements.
Dice have been 100% electrically probed, singulated,
visually inspected and are packaged in a 2”x2” waffle
pack (400 dice per waffle pack).
