New 0.3-10.6 GHz switch combines 95 nA current consumption, low insertion loss, high isolation, and 100 ns switching
Debuts at Electronica 2026 in the Murata booth #C4-179
SAN DIEGO – November 5, 2026 – pSemi® Corporation, a Murata company leading in the design and development of semiconductor integration and advanced connectivity, today announced the PE423213, a HaRP™ technology-enhanced reflective single-pole double-throw (SPDT) RF switch operating from 0.3 to 10.6 GHz. Designed for ISM, WLAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, the device combines broad frequency coverage with ultra-low current consumption and a compact footprint to address the needs of secure access control, smart-home automation, asset and personal tracking, indoor navigation, security and surveillance, wearables, and industrial IoT applications.
Built on pSemi’s patented UltraCMOS+™ silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process, the PE423213 delivers broadband RF performance with a typical supply current of just 95 nA. Its compact 6-lead, 1.6 × 1.6 mm DFN package and extended operating-temperature range of −40°C to +105°C make it well suited for space-constrained, battery-powered, and temperature-sensitive, connected devices.
Key performance and design benefits of the PE423213 include:
- Broad frequency support: A single reflective SPDT switch covers 0.3 to 10.6 GHz supporting multiple wireless standards (ISM, WLAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and UWB), simplifying RF front-end design.
- Low insertion loss and high isolation: Typical insertion loss is 0.4 dB at 6 GHz, 0.5 dB at 8.5 GHz, and 0.7 dB at 10.6 GHz, with isolation of 28 dB, 25 dB, and 18 dB at the same respective frequencies.
- Ultra-low current consumption: Typical supply current is 95 nA helps extend battery life in power-sensitive applications.
- Fast switching: A typical switching time of 100 ns supports responsive RF path selection.
- Compact and robust design: The 1.6 x 1.6 mm DFN package, -40 to +105 °C operating range, and ESD rating of 2000V supports compact designs operating across a wide range of environments.
