"Smartphone, tablet and datacard manufacturers increasingly value power amplifier solutions that integrate innovative features and excellent performance into compact packages," said 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."
ANADIGICS ProVantage power amplifiers leverage the Company's patented InGaP-Plus™ technology to achieve outstanding performance and integration. These power amplifiers help extend battery life by offering two selectable bias modes that optimize 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% power-added efficiency (PAE) operating in UMTS bands 1, 5, and 8 and 42% 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 also provide world-class linearity to ensure stable cellular connectivity and high data throughput.
