pSemi UltraCMOS SP4T Switch die

Richardson RFPD, Inc. has announced the availability and full design support capabilities for an RF switch and associated evaluation board from pSemi Corporation.

The PE42545 is a HaRP technology-enhanced reflective SP4T RF switch die that supports a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 67 GHz. It delivers low insertion loss, fast switching time and high isolation performance, making it suitable for test and measurement, 5G mmWave, microwave backhaul, radar and satellite communication applications. No blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is not present on the RF ports.

The switch die is manufactured on pSemi’s UltraCMOS process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator technology. The switch die features an insertion loss of 2.6 dB at 45 GHZ and a switching time of 75 ns. It also has an input of +33.5 dBm (for P1dB) and a return loss of 20 dB at 60 GHz.

An evaluation board is available now from stock.
