ANADIGICS’ Advanced Power Amplifiers Support QUALCOMM’s HSPA Solutions

ANADIGICS’ Power Amplifiers Selected for MSM7200 HSUPA and MSM6280 HSDPA

Reference Designs from QUALCOMM

WARREN, N.J., Dec. 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq:

ANAD), a leading supplier of wireless and broadband solutions, today

announced that the Company’s WCDMA and GPRS/EDGE power amplifiers (PAs) have

been specified by QUALCOMM for the Mobile Station Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) MSM7200

(TM) and MSM6280(TM) chipset reference designs. The MSM7200 solution supports

the high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) standard for peak data rates of

7.2 Mbps on the downlink and 5.76 Mbps on the uplink. The MSM6280 solution

supports the HSDPA standard for enhanced peak downlink rates of up to 7.2

Mbps. HSDPA and HSUPA allow users to achieve wireless broadband speeds that

rival wired connections.

QUALCOMM’s MSM7200 reference design specifies ANADIGICS’ WCDMA and EDGE

PAs to support eight frequency bands. The four WCDMA frequency bands are

enabled by ANADIGICS’ AWT6273, AWT6278, AWT6279, and AWT6282 PAs, while the

four EDGE frequency bands are supported by ANADIGICS’ AWT6280 polar EDGE PA.

QUALCOMM’s MSM6280 reference design specifies ANADIGICS’ AWT6273,

AWT6278 and AWT6279 WCDMA PAs, as well as ANADIGICS’ AND0041 quad-band polar

EDGE PA.

The AWT6273, AWT6278 and AWT6279 WCDMA PAs utilize ANADIGICS’ 3G High-

Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP3(TM)) technology to deliver the industry’s

highest levels of efficiency. This level of performance enables manufacturers

to extend battery life in mobile handsets, smart phones, data cards and 3G-

enabled notebook computers.

"QUALCOMM’s MSM7200 and MSM6280 chipsets raise the bar in mobile

performance, delivering advanced multimedia and communication capabilities,"

said Dr. Sanjay K. Jha, President of QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. "The

evolution of today’s 3G networks is enabling mobile users to work and play

with functionality that was previously reserved for wired broadband

connections, and these two chipsets together with ANADIGICS’ advanced power

amplifiers represent powerful solutions for the next generations of wireless

devices."

"As mobile manufacturers develop advanced 3G devices to take advantage of

the data speeds enabled by HSDPA and HSUPA networks, battery life becomes a

critical concern. ANADIGICS’ industry-leading HELP3(TM) WCDMA power

amplifiers have been optimized not only to deliver excellent voice clarity

and data integrity, but also to significantly improve the operating time of

3G devices," said Dr. Bami Bastani, President and CEO of ANADIGICS. "QUALCOMM

remains the industry leader in mobile chipsets, and we look forward to

continuing to work together."

ANADIGICS’ HELP3(TM) WCDMA PAs offer full compliance with HSDPA and

HSUPA requirements, while reducing average current consumption by 75 percent

compared with a conventional power amplifier. HELP3(TM) PAs provide

exceptionally low quiescent currents of 7 mA without a DC-DC converter, and

eliminate the requirements for external voltage regulation. The world-class

performance and integration of ANADIGICS’ HELP3(TM) products is achieved

using the Company’s patented InGaP-Plus(TM) technology, which combines

bipolar and field-effect transistor (FET) devices on the same InGaP GaAs die.
