Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high
reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad
range of end markets, today announced that it has begun volume
shipments of analog control switches to Siemens Healthcare for
their state-of-the-art MAGNETOM magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scanners. Skyworks’ devices allow Siemens to manufacture scanning
equipment that is 50 percent more productive and easier for medical
technicians to maneuver. The switches deliver low insertion loss,
positive voltage operation and very low direct current power
consumption - - - all critical elements for magnetic resonance
imaging. Each scanner requires hundreds of switches.
Skyworks’ portfolio of low noise amplifiers, Schottky and
varactor diodes, attenuators and multi-throw switches are also
supporting other wireless medical applications including blood
sugar and heart monitors, pacemakers, and patient telemetry
devices.
According to Nerac, a research and advisory firm, the number and
variety of wireless medical devices is growing rapidly, driven by
the expansion of wireless communication technology and the medical
needs of an aging population. Wireless medical devices that monitor
patients range from defibrillators to infusion pumps. According to
Nerac’s “Wireless Medical Devices: Security Issues, Market
Opportunities and Growth Trends” article, by 2020 at least 160
million Americans alone will be monitored and treated remotely for
at least one chronic condition. The market for such remote
monitoring of patients is forecast to reach $5.1 billion by 2013 up
from $3.6 billion in 2007.
“Skyworks is delighted to be partnering with Siemens to help
enable state-of-the-art imaging for medical applications,” said
Liam K. Griffin, executive vice president and general manager of
high performance analog. “At a higher level, this design win is yet
another example of how Skyworks’ analog portfolio is gaining
traction across a wide array of end markets, demonstrating
Skyworks’ success in diversifying into highly profitable, adjacent
segments.”

These risks, uncertainties and other important factors include,
but are not limited to: whether, as a result of the outcome of an
arbitration proceeding in Delaware chancery court scheduled for the
end of November 2011, we are required to close the acquisition of
Advanced Analogic Technologies; whether we are able to successfully
integrate Advanced Analogic Technologies’ operations if we are
required to close such acquisition; uncertainty regarding global
economic and financial market conditions; the susceptibility of the
wireless semiconductor industry and the markets addressed by our,
and our customers', products to economic downturns; the timing,
rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders and our
ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage
inventory; losses or curtailments of purchases or payments from key
customers, or the timing of customer inventory adjustments; the
availability and pricing of third party semiconductor foundry,
assembly and test capacity, raw materials and supplier components;
changes in laws, regulations and/or policies in the United States
that could adversely affect financial markets and our ability to
raise capital; our ability to develop, manufacture and market
innovative products in a highly price competitive and rapidly
changing technological environment; economic, social and political
conditions in the countries in which we, our customers or our
suppliers operate, including security and health risks, possible
disruptions in transportation networks and fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates; fluctuations in our manufacturing yields
due to our complex and specialized manufacturing processes; delays
or disruptions in production due to equipment maintenance, repairs
and/or upgrades; our reliance on several key customers for a large
percentage of our sales; fluctuations in the manufacturing yields
of our third party semiconductor foundries and other problems or
delays in the fabrication, assembly, testing or delivery of our
products; our ability to timely and accurately predict market
requirements and evolving industry standards, and to identify
opportunities in new markets; uncertainties of litigation,
including potential disputes over intellectual property
infringement and rights, as well as payments related to the
