It is good choice for contract manufacturing because it allows for quicker assembly in applications that operate up to 30 GHz, such as test and measurement, satellite communications, 5G, and millimeter-wave technology.
pSemi Corporation introduces the PE42548, a SP4T RF switch. This high-performance switch is poised to set a new standard in the industry by offering a superior alternative to traditional flip-chip solutions, particularly for contract manufacturing (CM) in test and measurement (T&M) applications. The switch is engineered with the company’s proprietary UltraCMOS technology, incorporating HaRP enhancements to deliver exceptional performance across a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 30 GHz.
The key features include:
- Low insertion loss: 2.0 dB at 26 GHz
- Rapid switching time: 60 nanoseconds
- High power handling: Up to 33 dBm
- Isolation performance: 41 dB
These attributes make the switch ideal for a variety of demanding applications, such as T&M, 5G mmWave, microwave backhaul, radar, and satellite communications. This switch is designed to operate reliably in challenging environments, with a temperature range extending from -40°C to 105°C. It is packaged in a compact 20-lead, 3 × 3 millimeter LGA package, ensuring ease of integration into various systems and reducing the overall design footprint.
The company is committed to providing cutting-edge RF solutions that meet and exceed industry demands. The PE42548 SP4T RF switch is tailored to address our customers’ critical challenges, offering a streamlined, ready-to-use solution that simplifies assembly and accelerates time-to-market. We are thrilled to introduce this advanced RF switch to industries including T&M, 5G advanced automated test equipment (ATE), 6G development, microwave radar, and satellite communications, where its superior performance and reliability will drive innovation and efficiency.
