CMOS antenna switch beats exotic alternatives
The PE4263 SP6T RF antenna switch is the latest innovation in the expanding RF product portfolio from Peregrine Semiconductor.
CMOS antenna switch is a first for dual-band GSM
The PE4261 is billed as the world's first flip-chip SP4T RF antenna switch for dual-band GSM handset applications.
"The PE4257 is a perfect solution for wireless infrastructure manufacturers by offering unprecedented isolation and broadband linearity, as well as providing component count reduction", said Jussi Salminen, Director of Peregrine's Wireless Sector Marketing.
"The PE4257, along with its counterpart PE4256 for broadband applications, are being well received by the market with their industry leading isolation of 63dB at 1GHz operation and industry-leading IIP3 of greater than 55dBm", he added.
The PE4257 is a fully absorptive 50ohm SPDT device featuring low insertion loss for lower power dissipation; and high ESD tolerance for simplified manufacturing.
The device maintains unparalleled linearity over the entire frequency range and requires an extremely low bias while operating on a single 3V supply.
The PE4257 is available in the 4 x 4mm 20-lead QFN package and is priced at $0.84 each in 10,000-quantity orders.
Products samples and volume production are available now through Peregrine and its worldwide distribution partner, Richardson Electronics.
