GaAs-based broadband wireless and wireline communications component maker Anadigics Inc of Warren, NJ, USA has expanded its dual-band ProEficient-Plus power amplifier (PA) family with the introduction of the AWT6765, optimized for LTE bands 25 and 26.
"The rapid increase in 3G and 4G mobile device use continues to place tremendous pressure on battery-life," said Jerry Miller, vice president of Cellular Products, Anadigics. "Our ProEficient-Plus power amplifiers are optimized to address this challenge by delivering the industry's highest combined efficiency for longer talk-time and data use. By offering this power-saving performance in compact, highly integrated dual-band packages, we are providing manufacturers with compelling solutions for ultra-thin, feature-rich mobile devices."
ProEficient-Plus leverages Anadigics’ exclusive InGaP-Plus technology and patented design architectures to provide efficiency in low and high power modes, as well as exceptionally low quiescent currents without the use of DC/DC converter. ProEficient-Plus PAs are also optimized for use with average power tracking (APT) to further increase efficiency and reduce current consumption at medium and low operating powers. The firm's dual-band ProEficient-Plus solutions offer frequently used band combinations with an internal voltage regulator in 3mm by 4mm packages to save PCB space.
Anadigics’ Dual-Band ProEficient-Plus features:
Industry-leading efficiency across all power levels and exceptionally low quiescent current to extend battery-life, including longer talk-time and data use
Two independent amplification chains to provide industry-leading performance for each band
Compact 3mm x 4mm x 0.9mm package with internal voltage regulation and integrated DC blocks on the RF ports to reduce PCB space requirements
Best-in-class linearity to maintain stable, high-throughput 3G/4G connections
RF matching optimized for output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50-Ohm system
