The PE42482 from Peregrine is an UltraCMOS (SOI) SP8T RF switch that operates from 10 MHz to 8 GHz. The switch has an insertion loss of less than 1.6 dB with an isolation of over 30 dB. This absorptive switch can handle an input power of up to 33 dBm and has a switching time of 227 ns. It is available in a 4 x 4 mm, 24 Lead QFN package and is ideal for wireless infrastructure, filter bank switching and RF signal routing appliactions. No blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is not present on the RF ports.
The PE42482 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS process, a patented advanced form of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology.
