Switch Features High Linearity and Isolation in Miniature Package
Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced the immediate availability and full design support capabilities for a new RF switch from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE42430 switch was developed on Peregrine's patented UltraCMOS® technology and combines low insertion loss with high linearity, high isolation, and small package size, making it well suited for WLAN and Bluetooth® applications in the 2.4 GHz band, as well as general broadband switching applications. An on-chip CMOS decode logic facilitates a three-pin CMOS control interface, and, because VDD is derived from switch-control inputs, there is no need for a VDD pin.
Key features of the PE42430 include:
· HaRP™ technology-enhanced UltraCMOS device
· Low insertion loss: Typical 0.45 dB @ 1 GHz; Typical 0.55 dB @ 2.5 GHz
· Isolation: 40 dB @ 1 GHz
· IIP3: Typical +66 dBm
· P0.1dB Compression: Typical +30 dBm
· Excellent ESD tolerance: 4500V HBM and 250V MM on all ports
· No external VDD required
· Package type: 8-lead 1.5 x 1.5 mm DFN
Common configurations are in stock and available for immediate delivery. To find more information, or to purchase the device today on the Richardson RFPD website.
