Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS): -- Simplifies RF Design and
Reduces Critical Board Space Through Higher Levels of Front-End
Integration; Proprietary Technologies Extend Talk Time for
Multimedia Platforms Skyworks Solutions, Inc.(NASDAQ:SWKS), a
global leader in analog, mixed signal and digital semiconductors
for mobile applications, today launched its family of Intera(TM)
front-end modules (FEMs) for wideband code division multiple access
(WCDMA) applications with support for High Speed Downlink Packet
Access (HSDPA). WCDMA is a 3G wireless technology that allows users
to send and receive mobile voice, data, image and video
communications at speeds up to 2 Mbps over a broad range of
frequencies. HSDPA allows high speed downlink with data
transmission up to 10 Mbps. By integrating the company's innovative
Load Insensitive Power Amplifier (LIPA(TM)), a duplexer, power
detector and filters into a single 5mm x 8mm package, Skyworks'
Intera(TM) FEMs allow handset designers to simplify RF design and
shrink required board space by approximately 50 percent when
compared to alternative discrete approaches. "As handset OEMs
around the world move towards WCDMA platforms, where power
efficiency, size and multimode operation become increasingly
important, Skyworks' Intera(TM) front-end modules answer the call
by enabling exceptional talk times in an ultra compact footprint,"
said Brian M. Daly, Skyworks' Director of Marketing for RF
Solutions. "Our simplified architecture not only helps reduce
design cycle times, but also facilitates implementation with
virtually any WCDMA baseband." Intera(TM) FEMs leverage Skyworks'
highly innovative LIPA(TM) technology, which today support the
majority of tier one handset OEMs, as well as a growing list of
ODMs and tier two and three suppliers. These solutions are the
latest additions to Skyworks' highly successful GSM/GPRS/EDGE
front-end module portfolio that today are at the heart of nearly 75
million handsets following their debut just two years ago. About
Intera(TM) FEMs The SKY77413 and SKY77414 are fully matched 22-pin
surface mount modules that meet the spectral requirements of WCDMA
up to 24.8 and 23.9 decibels (dBm) output powers, respectively.
Incorporating an indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) heterojunction
bipolar transistor (HBT) power amplifier, Intera(TM) FEMs contain
proprietary circuitry to optimize power detector performance.
Different control pins are available to enhance the performance of
the FEMs at different power levels. By optimizing the efficiency of
the InGaP HBT PA monolithic microwave integrate circuit (MMIC) and
reducing the RF loss between the integrated components, the
SKY77413 FEM achieves current as low as 450 magnetic amplifier
(mA), and the SKY77414 FEM achieves current as low as 470 mA at
maximum output power (24.8 dBm for SKY77413 and 23.9 dBm for
SKY77414), improving the talk time of a WCDMA platform. A
digital-enable pin is included to allow for easier implementation
with existing WCDMA architectures. Pricing and Availability The
SKY77413 (for frequencies that range between 824-849 MHz) and the
SKY77414 (for frequencies that range between 1850-1910 MHz) are
immediately available for sampling and priced at $4.50 each in
quantities of 10,000. About Skyworks Skyworks Solutions, Inc. is a
