RF and mixed-signal semiconductor maker Anadigics Inc of Warren,NJ,USA announced that it is shipping production volumes of its dual-band High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power(HELP3E)power amplifiers(AWC6323,AWC6325,and ALT6725)to Samsung Electronics for the new Galaxy S III smartphone,which features a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display,8 megapixel rear-facing camera,1.5 GHz dual-core processor,and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
''We are extremely pleased to have been selected by Samsung Electronics to help power the feature-rich and stunning Galaxy S III smartphone,''said Michael Canonico,senior vice president of worldwide sales at Anadigics.
Anadigics'HELP3E power amplifiers use the firm's exclusive InGaP-Plus technology to achieve optimal efficiency across low-range and mid-range output power levels and provide low quiescent currents.This level of performance helps to extend battery-life in handsets,smartphones,tablets,netbooks,and notebooks.These 3 mm by 5 mm dual-band PAs feature two independent power amplifiers,RF couplers,control logic and a voltage regulator in a single package,reducing printed circuit board(PCB)space requirements by greater than 20%compared with single band discrete solutions.
Anadigics HELP3E PA highlights:
Best-in-class linearity at maximum output power Three mode states to achieve high power-added efficiencies at low-range and mid-range output power levels Exceptionally low quiescent current of 4 mA Two independent PAs in a single package 3 mm by 5 mm footprint Internal voltage regulation Integrated RF coupler
