RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE45450, adjustable power limiter providing protection for up to 50 W pulsed RF input from 9 kHz to 6 GHz.

This broadband limiter can handle up to 10 W of power in CW applications. The adjustable power limiting threshold, from +25 to +35 dBm, enables flexibility across different platforms and architectures.

Peregrine’s UltraCMOS, monolithic solution is 8X smaller than comparable GaAs PIN diode solutions and no external components are required. The PE45450 offers fast response and recovery time of 1nS making it ideal for receiver protection in military ECM applications, radar, wireless infrastructure and test & measurement. The Peregrine PE45450 has an ESD HBM of 8000 volts to protect sensitive circuits against ESD surges.
