Peregrine's SPDT Switch Operates to 8.5 GHz
Peregrine Semiconductor has announced the UltraCMOS PE95420 SPDT RF Switch. Delivering broadband performance up to 8.5 GHz and exceptional isolation, the new switch is ideal for the demanding rigors of high-rel applications such as telecom infrastructure, microwave radios, test instrumentation and space. As with all UltraCMOS silicon-on-sapphire ICs, the PE95420 offers a superior isolation and insertion loss, making it appropriate for applications such as switch matrix, antenna array, and any RF communication system requiring hermetically sealed ceramic package performance in high temperature, high humidity or radiation environments such as down-hole drilling, automotive, military radios and VSAT systems.
“With a broadband product operating DC to 8500 MHz, our customers can greatly reduce qualification cost by eliminating the need to qualify additional devices in the system,” stated Dale Robinette, director of product marketing. “High isolation, low insertion loss, high frequency, ultra-low power and untouchable IP3 translate into unparalleled system-level performance,” he added.
The new SPDT incorporates a single-pin 3.3 V CMOS logic control which dramatically lowers the number of control lines, reducing the signal routing and potential failures in a system.
The PE95420 will be offered in the 7-lead hermetic surface-mount CSOIC and in die form. Engineering samples are expected to be available in February 2009.
