Anadigics ships production volumes of AWT6521 PA for Qualcomm’s Gobi 3000 module

RF and mixed-signal semiconductor maker Anadigics Inc of Warren, NJ, USA says that it is now shipping production volumes of its AWT6521 multi-mode power amplifier (PA) for Qualcomm’s Gobi 3000 module.

With internal voltage regulation and an integrated RF coupler and DC blocks on RF ports (together with two shared RF inputs and five separate 50 ohm matched outputs) in a space-saving 5mm x 7mm x 1mm package, the multi-band AWT6521 PA supports WCDMA/HSPA+ and CDMA/EVDO in frequency bands used by operators worldwide, providing users with more choice in carrier networks and the freedom to go without fear of losing connectivity, says Anadigics.

The Gobi 3000 reference design is based on Qualcomm’s MDM6200 and MDM6600 chipsets, both of which can provide support for HSPA+ data rates of up to 14.4Mbps.

“The Gobi 3000 multi-mode platform provides high-data-rate wireless functionality to a broad spectrum of mobile devices,” says VP of business development Jerry Miller. “Qualcomm’s selection of our new multi-band power amplifier for the Gobi 3000 platform exemplifies the strength of our successful relationship and the performance advantages of this product,” he claims. “We look forward to working closely with Qualcomm to develop the next-generation mobile solutions that continue to set the standard in wireless connectivity performance.”
