ビジネスワイヤ(英語)
Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:
PSMI), a fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency
integrated circuits (RFICs), today announced availability of the
industry’s highest-isolation SPDT RF switch for the wireless
infrastructure market. The UltraCMOS® based
PE42420 RF switch has high isolation of 64 dB @ 4 GHz—an
approximately 20% increase over competing devices on the market.*
Additionally, the switch features HaRP™ technology
enhancements to deliver high linearity, with an IIP3 of 65 dBm. By
providing high linearity and isolation in a single, small package,
the PE42420 switch simplifies Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) loop
design, which reduces cost and shortens time to market. This
high-performance switch enables increased network capacity and
higher data rates in infrastructure applications such as Base
Station Transceiver Systems (BTSs), Remote Radio Heads (RRHs), and
wireless backhaul; as well as Industrial, Scientific and Medical
(ISM) band devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz
frequencies.

“As we enter a period of major mobile broadband capacity
upgrades, network equipment vendors are challenged to provide
mobile operators with flexible, backward-compatible solutions to
replace 2G and 3G network products with LTE-ready systems that are
capable of supporting multiple standards,” said Mark Schrepferman,
director of the communications and industrial product line for
Peregrine’s High-Performance Solutions business unit. “At the same
time, the demand for higher data rates is requiring improved
network performance, which we believe is driving market needs for
high-isolation and high-linearity RF components. The PE42420 switch
enables equipment vendors to meet these network modernization
challenges.”
In order to maximize network performance in next-generation
wireless communication systems, high port-to-port isolation is
required, to prevent the output signal from spilling into adjacent
radio channels or bands. Additionally, because the DPD receiver is
shared by multiple Power Amplifiers (PAs) in these systems, high
isolation between the multiple paths ensures that the PA that is
being sampled is not contaminated by other signals. The 0.1 to 6
GHz PE42420 switch supports 1.8V control logic, enabling the use of
lower-voltage, and lower-power, microcontrollers. ESD tolerance of
2kV HBM on all pins eases manufacturing and results in higher
reliability of the end product.
Development Tool Support
The PE42420 Evaluation Kit (part # EK42420-02, $95.00) is
available, to enable designers to evaluate the PE42420 switch in
their applications. The kit can be ordered today, from Peregrine’s
global direct sales representatives and worldwide
distribution partners.
Packaging, Pricing & Availability
The PE42420 switch is available in a 20-pin 4 mm x 4 mm LGA
package and is priced starting at $1.25 each. Samples and
volume-production quantities can be ordered today, through
Peregrine’s global direct sales representatives and
worldwide distribution partners. For more information, visit
