(Top News, 6 May 2008)
ANADIGICS Inc. has launched its AWT6224 dual-band HELP3 power amplifier (PA) module designed specifically for use in 3G dual-band handsets for EGSM network deployments worldwide.
The latest member of ANADIGICS' family of WCDMA power amplifiers, the AWT6224 supports both IMT (UMTS2100) and EGSM (UMTS900) band operations. The AWT6224 is designed to meet requirements for WCDMA and HSPA operation with Qualcomm's latest chipsets.
Utilizing ANADIGICS's proprietary HELP3 technology, the devices features reduced average current consumption by 75 percent and enables up to 25 percent increased talk time in 3G handsets. The PA also includes a built-in voltage regulator and CMOS-compatible logic controls.
Like the AWT6281, the AWT6224 incorporates ANADIGICS' proprietary InGaP-Plus technology for reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness. The module is manufactured using a material set consistent with the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive.
