Tiny RFIC Delivers +67 dBm IIP3 and Extends Portfolio of the "Green RFIC Solution"
Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation announces the new PE42440 SP4T (single pole four throw) RF switch. The PE42440, designed on Peregrine's green UltraCMOS silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) process technology, features excellent broadband RF performance from 50 MHz up to 3 GHz. The HaRP enhanced switch has best-in-class linearity, making it suited for general purpose TRx switching in cellular and 2.4 GHz industrial; scientific and medical (ISM) radio bands; antenna tuning; and filter bank tuning/switching in a wide range of applications, including cellular radios and radio modules; antenna tuning of UHF bands through 3 GHz; RFID antenna tuning; 2.4 GHz ISM; Femtocells and other industrial applications. The new reflective PE42440 switch delivers impressive performance, an IIP3 of +67 dBm and P1dB of 41.5 dBm (across the range); Insertion Loss of 0.45 dB; and very high Isolation of 34 dB (at 1 GHz). The 50-Ohm switch handles maximum +33 dBm input power (500 MHz to 3 GHz) with world-class ESD tolerance of 4.0 kV HBM on the RFC pin.
