Anadigics shipping InGaP quad-and 3G/4G power amplifiers
The indium gallium phosphide based PAs are suited for use in mobile devices. The AWT6530 is compatible with chipsets from suppliers including MediaTek, HiSilicon and Qualcomm
Anadigics has commenced high-volume production shipments of the AWT6530 quad-band ProVantage power amplifier (PA).
The company says its ProVantage solutions combine high power mode efficiency, linearity and reduces system costs. By leveraging Anadigics’ unique quad-band architecture, the new AWT6530 integrated power amplifier minimises space requirements in mobile devices. The AWT6530 is compatible with chipsets from leading suppliers, including MediaTek, HiSilicon and Qualcomm.
“Smartphone, tablet and datacard manufacturers increasingly value power amplifier solutions that integrate innovative features and excellent performance into compact packages,” says Jerry Miller, senior vice president of Cellular Products at Anadigics.
“Our new AWT6530 quad-band ProVantage power amplifier is optimized to answer this challenge by providing an industry-leading blend of value, performance and space-saving integration. The AWT6530 has broad applicability validated by design wins at multiple OEMs and is a key element of our growth strategy in China and emerging markets,” Miller adds.
Anadigics ProVantage power amplifiers leverage the firm’s patented InGaP-Plus technology and help to extend battery life by offering two selectable bias modes that optimise efficiency for low and high output power levels, as well as a shutdown mode with low leakage current.
The AWT6530 quad-band power amplifier delivers 40 percent power-added efficiency (PAE) operating in UMTS bands 1, 5, and 8 and 42 percent PAE in band 2. ProVantage solutions are also designed for use with an external switch mode power supply (SMPS) to support average power tracking (APT), which further increases efficiency and reduces current consumption at low and medium operating powers. The company’s ProVantage power amplifiers are also claimed to ensure stable cellular connectivity and high data throughput.
