Richardson RFPD, Inc., an Arrow Electronics company, announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new UltraCMOS® SPDT RF switch from pSemi Corporation. 

The PE42726 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced reflective SPDT RF switch designed for use in cable applications, including DOCSIS 3.0/1 cable modem, set-top box and residential gateway. It delivers high linearity, excellent harmonics performance and high surge immunity in the 5 to1794 MHz band. It also features low insertion loss and high isolation performance, making the PE42726 ideal for DOCSIS 3.1 applications. 

The PE42726 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 of conventional CMOS. 

Additional key features of the PE42726 include: 

• Harmonics performance: 
  • 2fo of –121 dBc at 17 MHz 
  • 3fo of –150 dBc at 17 MHz 
• Best-in-class linearity across frequency band 
• Insertion loss: 0.3 dB at 1218 MHz 
• Isolation: 39 dB at 204 MHz 
• Packaging: 12-lead 3 x 3 x 0.75 mm QFN.
