Radio-frequency component and compound semiconductor company RF Micro Devices Inc (RFMD) of Greensboro, NC, USA has expanded its family of multimode multi-band (MMMB) power amplifiers (PAs) with the introduction of the RF7388 3G/4G MMMB PA.
RFMD says that its PowerSmart PAs are at the forefront of the technology shift to multimode-based architectures for smartphones, tablets, and other data-centric mobile broadband devices. The firm’s MMMB PA portfolio is compatible with all leading chipset providers and includes multiple derivatives accommodating a variety of band counts, air interface standards, interfaces (both GPIO and RFFE), and power management schemes, including average power tracking (APT) and envelope tracking (ET). RFMD also offers a complete family of discrete single-mode PAs that are available optionally with any RFMD MMMB solution to achieve additional band or mode coverage.
Eric Creviston, president of RFMD's Cellular Products Group, said, "RFMD offers the industry's only converged solution with single-die multimode performance, and our newest products expand RFMD's MMMB product portfolio to include ultra-high efficiency and APT capability."
