Business Wire
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile
connectivity, today announced that it has expanded its position in
(GPRS) front-end modules (FEMs) through strategic engagements with
leading system on chip (SoC) providers. To date, Skyworks has
shipped more than 750 million GPRS power amplifiers (PAs) and FEMs,
supporting the increasing demand for entry-level handsets in
emerging markets. Part of Skyworks� InteraLite� portfolio of
solutions, the low cost and small-form factor FEMs are now in
volume production with several leading SOC providers including
Infineon, MediaTek, Texas Instruments and NXP Semiconductors.
�Skyworks is uniquely suited to meet handset demand in this key
segment,� said Liam K. Griffin, senior vice president, sales and
marketing for Skyworks. �Capitalizing on our PA scale and
innovative design strengths, the InteraLiteTM FEMs complement our
existing EDGE and 3G portfolio, furthering our partnerships with
baseband suppliers and OEMs who leverage SoC architectures as part
of their low-end handset strategy.� Integrating a PA, PA controller
and a switch, the FEMs leverage the company�s advanced
manufacturing techniques to reduce the radio frequency (RF)
footprint and overall bill-of-materials � two key challenges
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) face when designing
low-cost phones. In emerging markets, both consumers and operators
require handsets that are inexpensive, yet meet or exceed specific
requirements for size, quality and reliability. Given its
high-power efficiency, these solutions also maintain overall
thermal performance and improve battery life. The InteraLite�
Portfolio is led by three key devices. The SKY77318 module is
designed for quad-band cellular GSM850/900, DCS1800 and PCS1900
handset applications, while the SKY77518 is a Tx-Rx FEM with
integrated PA control (iPAC�) for dual-band cellular handsets
comprising GSM900 and DCS1900 operation. Both solutions support
GPRS multi-slot operation. The SKY77531, now in volume production,
is a high-power efficiency Tx-Rx quad-band FEM with iPAC� that
contains a quad-band gallium arsenide (GaAs) heterojunction bipolar
(HBT) PA, a 1P6T switch to enable flexible phone layout, and an
integrated complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-based
controller to manage the PA and switch. In addition, Skyworks�
family of Intera� and InteraLite � FEMs and PAs support all key air
interfaces and market segments, expanding the company�s highly
successful GPRS, EDGE, CDMA and WCDMA product portfolio. Skyworks
at Mobile World Congress Skyworks will be showcasing its portfolio
of Intera� FEMs and Helios� radio solutions in Hall 8, Stand C132
at Mobile World Congress, being held February 11-14. About Skyworks
