Business Wire
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an industry leader in radio
solutions and precision analog semiconductors, today added a highly
integrated transmit wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA)
front-end module (FEM) supporting high-speed downlink packet access
(HSDPA) to its Intera(TM) portfolio. The SKY77427 enables Skyworks
to offer customers global support with band I, II and V coverage,
which are anticipated to be the dominant frequency bands for
third-generation (3G) handsets. "As the industry increasingly
migrates to WCDMA, battery life, reduced form factors, multimode
operation and cost are four key drivers for handset manufacturers,"
said Thomas J. Richter, Skyworks' marketing director for Mobile
Platforms. "Our simplified architecture meets these demands while
facilitating implementation with virtually any WCDMA baseband."
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. According
to Deutsche Bank, WCDMA handsets are expected to more than double
in 2006, off a base of 45 million units sold in 2005. By
integrating the company's next-generation, innovative load
insensitive power amplifier (LIPA(TM)), a duplexer, power detector
and filters into a single 5 x 8mm package, Skyworks' Intera(TM)
FEMs allow mobile handset designers to simplify radio frequency
(RF) design and reduce board space by nearly 50 percent when
compared to alternative discrete approaches. These solutions are
the latest additions to Skyworks' highly successful GSM/GPRS/EDGE
FEM portfolio that today are at the heart of over 100 million
handsets following their debut just three years ago. About SKY77427
The SKY77427 FEM is a fully matched, 22-pin surface mount module
developed for WCDMA applications. Small and efficient, this WCDMA
FEM integrates the interstage filter, the input matching, the PA,
the output matching, the power detection, and the duplexer into a
single 5 x 8 x 1.5mm package. SKY77427 meets the stringent spectral
requirements of HSDPA standards up to 24.2 dBm output power. It
incorporates an indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) heterojunction
bipolar transistor PA and contains circuitry to optimize power
detector performance. Different control pins are available to
enhance the performance of the FEM at different power levels.
Integration of the RF front-end greatly simplifies the design of
the handset radio as all critical matching between the interstage
filter, PA, power detection and duplexer is optimized within the
module. Pricing and Availability The SKY77427 will be available for
sampling in March and is priced at $4.50 each in quantities of
10,000. Skyworks at 3GSM World Congress Skyworks will be showcasing
its Intera(TM) FEMs and Helios(TM) EDGE radios in Hall 8, Stand
AO2-1, at 3GSM World Congress, being held Feb. 13-16 in Barcelona.
