1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this quality manual is to define Peregrine Semiconductor s quality management system and policies. This manual acts as the foundation of Peregrine s quality management system which is based upon and complies with the international standard AS 9100C, ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS16949:2009 as applicable to relevant sites. 1.2 Scope This quality manual applies to all Peregrine Semiconductor facilities and operations worldwide. 2 Corporate Overview 2.1 Scope of the QMS (Quality Management System) The scope of the QMS is the design, development, manufacture, and test of highperformance communications RFICs for the wireless infrastructure, mobile wireless; broadband communications and infrastructure; and high-reliability markets. These ICs are manufactured on the company s proprietary ULTRACMOS mixed-signal process technology. 2.2 Overview Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation products are uniquely poised to meet the needs of a global RF design community in high-growth applications such as LTE, HSDPA and WCDMA digital cellular and mobile TV; broadband communications such as DTV/PCTV/DVR; and in high-reliability applications such as telecom infrastructure, industrial, automotive, military and satellite systems. Peregrine ULTRACMOS devices are manufactured under licensed foundry partnerships with CMOS semiconductor manufacturers located throughout the world. The Company, headquartered in San Diego, California, maintains global sales support operations and a worldwide technical distribution network. See Figure 1 for global design, manufacturing and sales support locations. Additional information is available on the web at www.psemi.com. ULTRACMOS mixed-signal process technology is a patented advancement of siliconon-insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate providing high yields, competitive costs and a viable alternative to compound semiconductor technologies. ULTRACMOS delivers significant performance advantages over competing processes such as GaAs, SiGe, BiCMOS and bulk silicon CMOS in applications where RF performance, low power and high levels of integration are paramount. These measurable power and size savings offer advantages for both manufacturers and consumers, including longer battery life, smaller batteries, lower power consumption and bills, less electronic waste and a greener RF solution. Further, the company s revolutionary HARP technology enables dramatic improvements in harmonic results, linearity, power handling and overall RF performance which today remain unmatched by any other RF process technology.
