Sunnyvale, CA--October 21, 1996--Philips Semiconductors (Sunnyvale, CA) announced a complete range of GaAS MMIC power amplifiers that are compatible with emerging digital cellular and cordless telephone standards. These MMIC power amplifiers offer telephone handset manufacturers the benefits of a simpler design-in process, reduced assembly costs, and smaller handset designs.
The new RF power amplifiers, designed for use in digital cellular and cordless telephone handsets operating at 3.6V or 4.8V, are equally suitable for 6V battery operation. The CGY20xx range includes devices with output powers and frequency ranges suitable for GSM, DCS, PCS, DECT, and PHS telephone handsets.
CGY20xx power amplifiers for GSM/DCS/PCS applications cost in the region of $10 in a volume of 100,000 pieces. The DECT and PHS power amplifiers cost around $5 in similar quantities. Volume production of all these devices is scheduled to begin during the third quarter of 1996.
