Peregrine sets new standards of performance for high-frequency CMOS RF switches

IMS2013, USA: Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. has set new standards of performance for high-frequency CMOS RF switches with the launch of the SPDT PE42520 and PE42521 devices.

Building upon the core capabilities of Peregrine’s UltraCMOS technology, the new, high-linearity switches support operation at 13 GHz, combined with high power handling of +36 dBm, enabling levels of performance previously thought to be impossible with CMOS.

The devices are ideal for numerous high-frequency applications that require high power handling, such as signal-path and filter bank switching in the Test-and-Measurement, wireless backhaul, and military markets, among others.
