Peregrine Semiconductor (NASDAQ: PSMI) is a fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). The Companys proprietary UltraCMOS® technology enables the design, manufacture, and integration of multiple RF, mixed-signal, and digital functions on a single chip. Peregrines products deliver an industry-leading combination of performance and monolithic integration, and target a broad range of applications in the aerospace and defense, broadband, industrial, mobile-wireless device, test-and-measurement equipment, and wireless-infrastructure markets. UltraCMOS technology combines the ability to achieve the high levels of performance of traditional specialty processes, with the fundamental benefits of standard CMOS, the most widely-used semiconductor process technology. UltraCMOS technology utilizes a synthetic sapphire substrate, a near-perfect electrical insulator, providing low parasitic capacitance, and enabling high signal isolation, and excellent broadband linearity. These attributes result in RF devices with excellent high-frequency performance and power-handling performance, reduced crosstalk between frequencies, and enhanced network efficiency. Peregrine has engineered design advancements, including its patented HaRP technology, which significantly improves harmonic and linearity performance. Additionally, its patent-pending DuNE antenna-tuning technology is used in its advanced Digitally Tunable Capacitor (DTC) products. Peregrine offers a broad portfolio of high-performance RFICs including switches, digital attenuators, mixers/upconverters, prescalers, frequency synthesizers, DTCs, and DC-to-DC converter products; and we are currently developing Power Amplifiers (PAs). Its products are sold worldwide through its direct sales and field applications engineering staff, and its network of independent sales representatives, and distribution partners.
