Figure 14. Evaluation Board Layout
Evaluation Kit
The PE42821 Evaluation Kit board was designed
to ease customer evaluation of the PE42821 RF
switch.
The evaluation board in Figure 14 was designed
to test the part. DC power is supplied through J10,
with VDD on pin 9, and GND on the entire lower
row of even numbered pins. To evaluate a switch
path, add or remove jumpers on V1 (pin 3) using
Table 5.
The ANT port is connected through a 50Ω
transmission line via the top SMA connector, J1.
RF1 and RF2 paths are also connected through
50Ω transmission lines via SMA connectors as J2
and J3. A 50Ω through transmission line is
available via SMA connectors J5 and J6. This
transmission line can be used to estimate the loss
of the PCB over the environmental conditions
being evaluated. An open-ended 50Ω
transmission line is also provided at J4 for
calibration if needed.
Narrow trace widths are used near each part to
improve impedance matching. The shunt C1 on
RFC port is to provide for high frequency
impedance matching.
