Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., a supplier of advanced RF CMOS and mixed-signal communications ICs, has announced the availability of the PE4269 SP6T RF antenna switch die for quad-band GSM antenna switch modules (ASM).

According to Peregrine, the PE4269, based on the PE4263 antenna switch introduced last fall, has been shipping in volume to handset makers in Japan and Korea. The PE4269 RF switch provides a unique, high-performance solution to the ASM market by offering high power at 41 dBm P1dB and monolithic integration of key elements including a control logic decoder and driver. Like other Peregrine products, the PE4269 is developed on the company's patented UltraCMOS process technology.

The 50-Ohm PE4269 2.6V RF switch operates from 100 to 3000 MHz and features 1500 V ESD tolerance at all ports; no blocking capacitors; 45 dB of isolation; low insertion loss of 0.55 dB at 915 MHz; and fast switch settling time. The PE4269 is priced at $0.60 each, in 10K units. It is available in die form (1.24 mm x 1.20 mm).
