Business Wire
Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSMI), a
fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency integrated
circuits (RFICs), today announced a single-pole, single throw
(SPST) antenna tuning switch for LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) smartphones.
This latest addition to Peregrine’s series of tuning devices
leverages Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® process using the HaRP™ and DuNE™
enhancements to deliver an ideal combination of performance and
integration to 4G wireless platforms. In a related announcement
today, the PE613010 antenna tuning switch has already been chosen
by Pantech to drive performance in its new Vega LTE-A handset.
Peregrine’s tuning products are designed to help 4G handset
manufacturers implement tunable antennas, the benefits of which
include faster data throughput, smaller size and enhanced overall
consumer experience. Based on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS technology, the
PE613010 antenna switch delivers the industry’s lowest
resistance-on (Ron) of 1.2 Ohms from 700-2700MHz. This maximizes
radiated performance of the antenna in support of higher data
throughput, increased battery life and longer range for fewer
dropped calls. Manufacturers can achieve this performance while
also minimizing size in support of thinner form factor phones. The
new PE613010 antenna tuning switch is supplied in a miniature 2 x 2
x 0.55 mm package that requires zero external components.
“The emergence of LTE-A networks places significant RF design
challenges on handset manufacturers to deliver an optimal user
experience despite supporting the ever increasing number of
frequency bands and higher data throughput,” said Dylan Kelly, vice
president of the mobile wireless solutions business unit at
Peregrine Semiconductor. “The new PE613010 antenna tuning switch
helps to solve these challenges, and as a result, has already been
integrated into multiple 4G handsets. The feedback from customers
has been very positive as Peregrine’s tuning solutions enable the
performance gains required at the antenna for smartphones to
support the full capabilities of LTE-A networks.”
The PE613010 antenna tuning switch features high RF power
handling and ruggedness, while meeting challenging harmonic and
linearity requirements of LTE-A with Peregrine’s HaRP technology.
With single-pin low voltage CMOS control, all decoding and biasing
is integrated on-chip and no external bypassing or filtering
components are required. The PE613010 also features ESD tolerance
of 2kV HBM on all pins, providing a monolithically integrated
solution for tunable antennas.
Development Tool SupportPeregrine Semiconductor also
announced availability of the PE613010
Evaluation Kit, available now through Peregrine’s
global direct sales representatives and worldwide
distribution partners.
Packaging, Pricing & AvailabilityThe PE613010 antenna
tuning switch is available now, in RoHS compliant, 10-lead QFN
package measuring just 2 x 2 x 0.55 mm. Samples, volume-production
quantities and pricing are available today, by contacting
Peregrine. For more information, visit
