Peregrine Semiconductor Announces New 5-bit 32-state DuNE DTCs

Peregrine PE64904 PE64905

These DTC devices improve RF performance by offering tunability to applications ranging from filter banks to impedance matching networks. Peregrine DTCs also offer high power handling while meeting excellent harmonic and linearity requirements. Both SPI Compatible (3-wire) and I2C Compatible (2-wire) control interfaces versions are available.
