The PE4272 RF Switch is designed for the TV tuner, PCTV, set

top box, DTV, DVR and general broadband applications. This

device offers industry leading broadband linearity, 1.5 kV ESD

tolerance and a simple CMOS interface. The device offers a

simple alternative solution to pin diode and mechanical relay

switches.

The PE4272 SPDT High Power RF Switch is manufactured on

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.
