Control Logic Input

The PE4242 is a versatile RF CMOS switch that

supports two operating control modes; single-pin

control mode and complementary-pin control

mode.

Single-pin control mode enables the switch to

operate with a single control pin (pin 4) supporting

a +3-volt CMOS logic input, and requires a

dedicated +3-volt power supply connection on pin

number of control lines required and simplifies the

switch control interface typically derived from a

CMOS

µProcessor I/O port.

Complementary-pin control mode allows the

switch to operate using complementary control

pins CTRL and CTRL (pins 4 & 6), that can be

directly driven by +3-volt CMOS logic or a suitable

µProcessor I/O port. This enables the PE4242 to

be used as a potential alternate source for SPDT

RF switch products used in positive control

voltage mode and operating within the PE4242

operating limits.
