Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, announces the next chapter in intelligent integration—integrated phase and amplitude control at microwave frequencies. In the fall of 2014, Peregrine introduced intelligent integration, a unique design capability of UltraCMOS® technology that enables the integration of RF, digital and analog components onto a single die. Peregrine uses this design capability to offer benefits such as configurability, flexibility, enhanced performance, reliability, repeatability, ease-of-use and a reduced form factor. By enabling phase and amplitude control at higher frequencies, Peregrine can provide clear benefits to markets and applications including wireless infrastructure, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), beamforming and interference cancellation.
Intelligent integration has enabled Peregrine to develop its family of MPAC products—monolithic phase and amplitude controllers for the LTE and LTE-A wireless infrastructure transceiver market. MPAC products provide maximum phase and amplitude tuning flexibility in dual-path dynamically load-modulated amplifier architectures, such as Doherty amplifiers. Each controller integrates a 90-degree hybrid splitter, phase shifters, digital step attenuator and a digital serial interface on a single die. Leveraging the capabilities of MPAC into other integrated products, Peregrine sees many potential applications at higher frequencies.
“As the frequency spectrum becomes more crowded, many commercial applications are moving to higher frequencies,†says Andrew Christie, technical marketing manager at Peregrine Semiconductor. “Phase and amplitude control is critical to these applications. The need for Peregrine’s intelligent integration capability has never been stronger.â€
