Peregrine Semiconductor Sets New Standards of Performance for High-Frequency CMOS RF Switches

Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:
PSMI), a fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency
integrated circuits (RFICs), today announced from booth
#1811 at the International Microwave Symposium in Seattle it
has set new standards of performance for high-frequency CMOS RF
switches with the launch of the SPDT PE42520 and
PE42521 devices. Building upon the core capabilities of
Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® technology, the new,
high-linearity switches support operation at 13 GHz, combined with
high power handling of +36 dBm, enabling levels of performance
previously thought to be impossible with CMOS. The devices are
ideal for numerous high-frequency applications that require high
power handling, such as signal-path and filter bank switching in
the Test-and-Measurement, wireless backhaul, and military markets,
among others.
“Peregrine has, once again, set new levels of performance,
achieving high-frequency and high-power capability without
compromising the core capabilities of UltraCMOS,” said Dave
Shepard, vice president of Peregrine’s High-Performance Solutions
business unit. “The PE42520 and PE42521 switches, along with our
new PE43704 DSA, are the first in our line of high-frequency,
high-power products. We look forward to continuing to support
applications that require broadband performance of 13 GHz and
beyond.”
The PE42520/21 switches support operation up to 13 GHz at 36 dBm
and feature HaRP™ technology, resulting in IIP3 of 66 dBm,
and IIP2 of 115 dBm. The PE42520 supports frequencies down to 9
KHz, while the PE42521 is a fast-switching variant that operates
down to 100 MHz. Both devices have low gate lag, a key feature for
test-and-measurement applications. The insertion loss of the
PE42520 and PE42521 is 0.7 dB at 7.5 GHz. Both devices have
isolation of greater than 41 dB at 7.5 GHz.
Development Tool Support
Peregrine also unveiled the PE42520 and PE42521 Evaluation Kits
today, to enable designers to evaluate the new switches in their
applications. The kits can be ordered now from Peregrine’s
global direct sales representatives and worldwide
distribution partners. For more information, visit

Packaging, Pricing & Availability
The PE42520 and PE42521 RF switches are available in a 16-lead,
3 mm x 3 mm QFN package. They are priced at $3.98 each in 10k-unit
quantities. Samples can be ordered in late June, with
volume-production quantities expected to be available in late July,
from Peregrine’s global direct sales representatives and
worldwide distribution partners. For more information, visit
