PE42548 provides best-in-class contract manufacturing-friendly solution for faster assembly in up to 30 GHz applications across test and measurement, SATCOM, 5G, mmWave, and other markets
San Diego, CA – June 17, 2024 – pSemi® Corporation, a Murata company leading in the design and development of semiconductor integration and advanced connectivity, today announced the introduction of a new high-performance SP4T RF switch—the PE42548. This advanced packaged solution is set to revolutionize the market by providing an ideal alternative to traditional flip-chip solutions. Designed to accelerate time-to-market, the PE42548 meets the increasing demand for contract manufacturing (CM)-friendly RF solutions, particularly in test and measurement (T&M) applications.
PE42548 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced reflective switch that supports a wideband frequency range from 9 kHz to 30GHz. Powered by pSemi’s proprietary UltraCMOS® technology, this switch offers superior performance with a low insertion loss of 2.0 dB at 26 GHz, rapid switching time of 60 ns, high power handling of 33 dBm, and exceptional isolation performance of 41 dB. These features make it perfect for a wide array of applications, including T&M, 5G mmWave, microwave backhaul, radar, and satellite communications. Moreover, the PE42548 operates efficiently in extreme environments, with a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, and is housed in a compact 20-lead, 3 × 3 millimeter LGA package.
The PE42548 is a high-performance SP4T RF switch set to revolutionize the market by providing an ideal alternative to traditional flip-chip solutions.
