Semtech's specialized PerSe Connect SX9376 circuit kit greatly enhances 5G connectivity and enables personal connected devices to comply with regulations
Semtech Corporation announces expansion of its PerSe product catalog® with a new integrated circuit specially designed for 5G mobile devices. Semtech's PerSe technology detects human proximity and enables devices such as smartphones to implement advanced radio frequency (RF) control. The PerSe Connect SX9376 enables designers to optimize RF performance, improve connectivity, and deliver high Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance for 5G-enabled consumer devices.
Chips specialized in human detection
Semtech's PerSe smart sensors have been leading the connected device market for the past decade, offering consumers the ability to function at all times and quickly. System-level RF emissions auto-tuning capability allows connected devices – smartphones, tablets, hotspots and laptops – to operate at peak performance while complying with regulations. The industry's leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) incorporate Semtech chips when designing their devices to provide the best consumer experience through superior device performance, battery life, regulatory compliance, and reliability. user security.
“The evolution of the consumer device market continues to accelerate and OEMs will continue to deliver connected devices that leverage the best available technologies to deliver the highest levels of performance, connectivity and battery life that consumers demand,” said David Wong, Director of consumer detection products in Semtech's Advanced Protection and Detection Products Group.
“For ten years and today, OEMs have been adopting our PerSe technology in their products to ensure that their devices offer the best performance and are SAR compliant.”
The global 5G market continues to grow
Through 2030, the global 5G market is expected to have experienced an average year-on-year growth of 47,6% with a market valuation of $198.440 billion. To commercialize these 5G products, OEMs must add more RF antennas to the design to address the increase in frequency. Additional antennas can make it more difficult for OEMs to comply with global SAR regulations and accurately manage the RF power of the device. Semtech's SX9376 has a maximum of 8 sensor inputs to connect multiple antennas and simplify sensor design without compromising performance and regulation. Semtech's new circuitry is also compatible with various antenna designs, making it easy to integrate into the latest 5G mobile devices.
These are the main advantages of the SX9376 in smartphones:
- Semtech's PerSe Connect 9376 enables system RF performance to be optimized for improved connectivity and global SAR compliance
- Up to eight sensor inputs to connect multiple antennas
- Best detection level with a high resolution analog input stage starting at 0.74aF
- Very high versatility for designs with antennas whose capacity is up to 600 pF
- Superior robustness with advanced temperature correction to minimize false trips caused by noise and temperature
- Fully integrated single chip solution for all SAR detection needs
