Switches for wireless infrastructure equipment
Peregrine Semiconductor has introduced two new high isolation, multi-throw switches. Successors to the PE42451, the SP4T and SP5T switches include several additional features that support the latest wireless infrastructure demands, including an extended temperature range to 105°C and control logic support of 1.8 and 3V.
With the rapid expansion of LTE and soon LTE-A, the switches are said to provide a reliable solution for wireless infrastructure applications and enable LTE-infrastructure designs to maximise spectral efficiency and data throughput.
"As the demands of the wireless infrastructure market shift, Peregrine has strategically added key features that help our customers adapt to emerging trends," said Kinana Hussain, senior marketing manager. "RF engineers can now leverage an increased temperature range, lower power consumption and more design flexibility, coupled with key UltraCMOS advantages in reliability, linearity, ESD and consistent RF performance."
