Highly Rugged UltraCMOS® Switches Extend Performance to 13.5 GHz
High Linearity, High HBM ESD and CMOS Control Interface Ideal for RF Applications
The Peregrine UltraCMOS® RF switches feature high ESD
tolerance and high linearity providing an exceptionally
rugged high-performance solution for wireless applications.
Developed on the patented UltraCMOS Silicon-onSapphire (SOS) process, these multi-throw switches deliver
an extraordinary combination of performance, price and
monolithic integration. Simply stated, the new wireless RF
switches from Peregrine are easy to use and profoundly
different.
HaRP™-enhanced high-power
Switches
Peregrine's new high-power switch product line features
HaRP™ technology enhancements to deliver a 50 Watt 1dB
compression point with high linearity and exceptional
harmonics performance. Other highlights of the PE42510A
and PE42650A switches include:
42fo and 3fo < -84 dBc @ 42.5 dBm
410 Watts <8:1 VSWR (normal operation)
4P0.1 dB 45.5 dBm @ 0.8 GHz
4Insertion Loss 0.4 dB @ 0.8 GHz
4ESD 2 kV
The PE42551, PE42552 and PE42556 switches feature:
4High frequency operation up to 13.5 GHz for PE42556
4HaRP™ technology for excellent
linearity and performance:
4Minimal gate lag, fast settling time
4IIP3 of up to +65 dBm
4Low frequency performance down to 9 kHz
for PE42551 and PE42552
4High Isolation 44 dB @ 7.5 GHz for PE42552
HaRP™-enhanced test & Measurement/
ATE Switches
Complementary devices ideal for T&M/ATE applications
minimize gate lag and insertion loss drift while maintaining
high linearity and isolation.

About Peregrine Semiconductor
Peregrine Semiconductor is a fabless provider of high-performance RFICs. Our
solutions leverage our proprietary UltraCMOS® technology, which enables the design,
manufacture, and integration of multiple RF, mixed-signal, and digital functions on a
single chip. Our products deliver what we believe is an industry leading combination
of performance and monolithic integration, and target a broad range of applications
in the aerospace and defense, broadband, industrial, mobile wireless device, test and
measurement equipment, and wireless infrastructure markets.
UltraCMOS technology combines the
fundamental benefits of standard CMOS, the
most widely used semiconductor process
technology, with a synthetic sapphire substrate
that enables significant improvements in performance for RF applications. We have
engineered design advancements, including our patented HaRP™ technology which
significantly improves harmonic and linearity performance, and our patent-pending
DuNE™ technology, a circuit design technique that we have used to develop our
advanced digitally tunable capacitor (DTC) products.
We leverage our RF design expertise and systems knowledge to develop RFIC solutions
that address the stringent performance, integration, and reliability requirements of the
rapidly evolving wireless markets. We offer a broad portfolio of high performance RFICs
including switches, digital attenuators, mixers/upconverters, prescalers, frequency
synthesizers, digitally tunable capacitors (DTCs), and DC-DC converter products, and
we are currently developing power amplifiers (PAs).
