With ESD performance of 2kV on the RFC port, low voltage support down to 1.8V VDD and low power consumption of 9microamperes, Peregrine says the switch is suitable for battery powered portable applications, as well as automotive telematics applications, such as vehicle entry systems and emergency calls.
The 50O reflective UltraCMOS switch features high linearity of 50dBm IIP3 and on chip, low voltage CMOS control logic. It can be controlled using either single pin or complementary control inputs.
"Customers continue to push for low power and high ESD performance in the smallest package size possible, in order to deliver optimal RF performance in their portable device, and automotive telematics designs," said Mark Schrepferman, director of marketing for Peregrine's high performance solutions business unit. "The PE42421 switch meets these needs, and also makes customers' manufacturing processes more reliable."
