Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., a fabless provider of high-performance radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs), announced the availability of the SPDT PE42421 RF switch, which is available in a miniature, 6-lead SC-70 package. With its small package size, strong ESD performance of 2 kV on the RFC port, low voltage support down to 1.8V VDD, and low power consumption of 9 microamperes (typ.), the new switch is well suited for battery-powered portable applications, as well as automotive-telematics applications, such as vehicle entry systems and emergency calls.
Skyworks introduces a low noise amplifier with high linearity and excellent return loss, while drawing as low as 5 mA of bias current. The internal active bias circuitry of the SKY67015-396LF LNA provides stable performance over temperature and process variation.
