With TTL-compatible control that removes the need for a negative voltage rail, the SOI RF switches, DSAs portfolio streamlines biasing networks, cuts component count, and simplifies board design, while still delivering the fast switching, high isolation, and linearity required in mission-critical applications.
Qorvo has introduced a new portfolio of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) RF switches and digital step attenuators (DSAs) aimed at defense, aerospace, and infrastructure applications. The lineup is designed to simplify RF system design, reduce bill-of-materials (BOM) complexity, and speed up integration in wideband environments.
The new SOI RF switches, DSAs portfolio respond to growing system demands for broader frequency coverage, more agile signal routing, and easier integration without the drawbacks of legacy GaAs-based RF control components or multi-vendor architectures.
With TTL-compatible control that removes the need for a negative voltage rail, the SOI RF switches, DSAs portfolio streamlines biasing networks, cuts component count, and simplifies board design, while still delivering the fast switching, high isolation, and linearity required in mission-critical applications.
Rather than relying on multiple narrowband components or stitched-together vendor solutions, Qorvo’s SOI approach allows designers to consolidate switch and attenuator functions into a scalable RF control platform.
This not only reduces routing complexity and calibration overhead but also enables easier design reuse across programs. Compared to traditional GaAs switches, the portfolio offers simpler biasing and integration without compromising RF performance. Against discrete RF control chains, it helps shrink board space, reduce BOM, and improve overall signal integrity.
The launch aligns with key industry shifts, including the move toward wider bandwidth radar and electronic warfare systems, increasing demand for agile signal routing, and ongoing pressure to reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP) while accelerating time to market.
By combining simplified control, strong RF performance, and flexible digital integration, Qorvo is positioning its SOI portfolio as a practical path to modernizing RF control architectures without adding design complexity.
