Single-chip 2W PA dækker bred frekvensområde

Freescale lancerer industrien første single-chip 2W power amplifier med 40 dB forstærkning inden for frekvensområdet fra 1500 til 2700 MHz (in english).

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the first 2W integrated power amplifier operating with a 5V supply and delivering more than 40 dB of gain to cover all frequency bands between 1500 MHz and 2700 MHz. The component supports any cellular standard operating at this frequency including GSM, 3G, 4G and LTE.

- No other device covers the significant portion of the wireless communications spectrum from 1500-2700 MHz and can match output power of 2W and gain of more than 40 dB. It is a pacesetting product from the worldwide RF power leader, says Ritu Favre, senior vice president and general manager of Freescale’s RF business.

Freescale’s versatile, high gain MMZ25333B is suitable for driver and pre-driver applications in macrocell base stations, and final-stage applications in small cells. The ultra-high performance and integration of the PA help customers reduce part counts, streamline supply chains and optimize costs. And because the device can be used across multiple platforms and frequency bands, it can be reused from project to project, simplifying supply chain inventory.

- With this product introduction, Freescale yet again achieves another industry first that offers compelling advantages for our customers, adds Ritu Favre.
