Original Press Release:
Richardson RFPD Introduces Nine New SP6T, SP8T and SP12T Absorptive Switches from Peregrine
Covering up to 9 kHz to 8 GHz, the new high throw-count switches are designed for wireless infrastructure, test and measurement, and harsh industrial applications.
Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced today the availability and full design support capabilities for nine new UltraCMOS® SP6T, SP8T and SP12T absorptive switches from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation.
The PE42462, PE42482 and PE42412 feature high port-to-port isolation, high linearity, low insertion loss and exceptional power handling. They are optimized for 4G and 4.5G wireless infrastructure switching applications such as robust digital pre-distortion (DPD) loops, filter banks and transmit/ receive (T/R) paths signal routing. These devices cover a frequency range from 10 MHz to 8 GHz, which also makes them ideal for 5 GHz LTE Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) and LTE WiFi Link Aggregation (LWA).
Key features of these new switches for wireless infrastructure applications include:
Part Number Configuration Insertion Isolation Input IP3 Maximum Input Power Switching Time Package
Loss (dB) (dB) (dBm) (dBm) (ns) Type
PE42462A SP6T 1 42 +60 +35 210 QFN
PE42482A SP8T 1.1 41 +60 +35 227 QFN
PE42412A SP12T 1.1 38 +60 +35 232 QFN
The PE42562, PE42582 and PE42512 are optimized for the demands of next-generation test and measurement equipment. These switches support a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 8 GHz and offer an external VSS pin to eliminate spur. With low insertion loss, high isolation, best-in-class linearity, fast switching and settling times, they are ideal for applications such as filter bank switching and transmit/receive (T/R) signal path switching.
Key features of these new switches for test and measurement applications include:
Part Configuration Insertion Loss Isolation Input IP3 Maximum Input Power Switching Time Package Type
Number (dB) (dB) (dBm) (dBm) (ns)
PE42562A SP6T 1 42 +60 +35 210 QFN
PE42582A SP8T 1 47 +60 +35 227 QFN
PE42512A SP12T 1.1 44 +60 +35 232 QFN
The PE426462, PE426482 and PE426412 are optimized for applications that demand extreme temperature support, and they deliver industry-leading performance across a wide temperature range of -55 to +125 degrees Celsius. With high isolation, low insertion loss and a fast RF TRISE/ TFALL time, these switches boast the high-performance specifications necessary to utilize the full potential of a high throw-count design.
Key features of these new switches for harsh industrial applications include:
Part Configuration Insertion Loss Isolation Input IP3 Maximum Input Power Switching Time Package
Number (dB) (dB) (dBm) (dBm) (ns) Type
PE426462A SP6T 1 51 +60 +33 210 QFN
PE426482A SP8T 1 47 +60 +33 227 QFN
PE426412A SP12T 1.1 43 +60 +33 232 QFN
All of these new high throw-count switches are manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® process, a patented advanced form of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional CMOS.
