Peregrine certified as MIL-PRF-38535 qualified manufacturers list supplier for aerospace and defense

Peregrine Semiconductor Corp of San Diego, CA, USA - a fabless provider of radio-frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) - has been awarded qualified manufacturers list (QML) certification, class Q (military) and V (space).

After a thorough evaluation, Peregrine demonstrated to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime that it fully complies with MIL-PRF-38535, the performance specification used by the US Department of Defense for monolithic integrated circuits that operate in severe environments.

"This is a giant step forward for Peregrine's high-reliability products and demonstrates our continued commitment to serving the aerospace and defense market — an industry we have served for over 15 years," says Duncan Pilgrim, VP & general manager of Peregrine's high-performance analog (HPA) business unit. "We are actively taking the next steps to qualify and release Peregrine's space and military product portfolio as standard microcircuit drawings (SMDs)."

Peregrine offers many high-reliability products for the aerospace and defense industry including RF switches, digital step attenuators (DSAs), pre-scalers, phase-locked loops (PLLs) and DC-DC converters, based on Peregrine's own technologies. Built on its UltraCMOS technology on a sapphire substrate, the high-reliability products offer proven RF performance and unique integration capabilities, it is claimed.
