Peregrine Semiconductor Introduces Latest SPDT RF Switch for Harsh Space Environments

Business Wire
Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:
PSMI), a fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency
integrated circuits (RFICs), today announced availability of a new
SPDT RF switch for harsh environment and space applications.
Manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® technology,
the PE95421 switch is highly resistant to total dose and
single event radiation effects, resulting in improved product
reliability, as well as stable, and predictable, performance over
the life of the mission. The switch features HaRP™
technology enhancements for high linearity of 60 dBm IIP3. It is
suitable for applications such as RF switch matrices, antenna
arrays, and RF communication systems, with an operating frequency
up to and including the C-band in commercial satellites, manned
spacecraft, and high-altitude aircraft.
“We are pleased to introduce a new RF SPDT switch to meet the
unique requirements of harsh environment and space applications,”
said Dave Shepard, vice president of Peregrine’s High-Performance
Solutions business unit. “This new device expands our existing line
of rad-hard switches, frequency synthesizers, prescalers, and
DC-to-DC converters for this market. Customers choose our products
with confidence that they will meet the tough reliability
requirements of space, due to the innovative UltraCMOS
manufacturing process and our more than 20 years of space flight
heritage.”
As a result of the inherent physical properties of the
highly-insulating sapphire substrate, devices manufactured on
UltraCMOS technology are naturally immune to radiation-induced
latchup. Further design enhancements ensure exceptionally low
levels of performance drift under total dose conditions up to 100
krads (ELDRS free). The PE95421 switch features low-complexity,
single-pin 3.3V CMOS logic control in a single chip. It has low
insertion loss ranging from 0.77 dB @ 100 MHz to 1.38 dB @ 8500
MHz, and high isolation ranging from 86.5 dB @ 100 MHz to 27.8 dB @
8500 MHz. Low power consumption of 3.3 micro Watts at 3.3V and high
ESD tolerance up to 1000V HBM further enhance the ease-of-use of
this device.
Development Tool Support
Peregrine also announced availability of the PE95421 Evaluation
Kit (part # PE95421-00) today, to enable designers to evaluate the
PE95421 switch in their applications. The kit can be ordered now,
from Peregrine’s global direct sales team.
Packaging, Pricing & Availability
The PE95421 switch is available in a 7-lead hermetically-sealed
CQFP package, or in die form. For pricing, and to order samples and
volume-production quantities, contact Peregrine’s global direct
sales team. An export license is required to ship these parts
outside the United States. For more information, visit
