Richardson RFPD Launches New Silicon-On-Insulator Website Resource

Features technology leader Peregrine's UltraCMOS products

Richardson RFPD, Inc. recently announced the launch of a new website resource focused exclusively on Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI).

SOI wafer processes use a silicon/insulator/silicon substrate instead of an ordinary silicon substrate. This creates a number of advantages, including better isolation, higher linearity, and lower insertion loss—with the overall result being improved RF performance.

Richardson RFPD supplier Peregrine Semiconductor (Peregrine) is the RF leader in SOI. Their UltraCMOS process is proven and reliable, with over one billion ICs shipped to date for cellular infrastructure, CATV, and aerospace and defense applications. The new Richardson RFPD SOI microsite features a range of Peregrine products, operating from DC to 13.5 GHz, and including digitally tunable capacitors, switches, digital step attenuators, prescalers, mixers, and phase lock loops (PLLs).

In addition to products, the new SOI resource offers links to an extensive list of technical resources, from applications notes to presentations, selector guides, and technical articles.

To learn more, click here, or from any page on the website, select SOI - Silicon-On-Insulator from the Technologies menu.
