TriQuint reaches half billion shipments mark and expands RF module line

TriQuint Semiconductor Inc of Hillsboro, OR, USA announced that it has shipped more than a half billion RF modules to manufacturers of mobile devices, and that it is continuing to expand its module line by introducing a new TRITIUM III PA-Duplexer module for band 8 and a new QUANTUM II Tx module for GSM/GPRS/EDGE applications.

TriQuint says that its modules provide the RF functionality in hundreds of millions of phones and data cards, including smartphone and 3G WCDMA phones. The firm adds that its TRITIUM PA-Duplexer Module family experienced record growth in 2008 and secured numerous design wins for future production volume. According to TriQuint, the TRITIUM and QUANTUM families provide a scalable 3G RF solution easily configurable for different handset segments ranging from basic single-band 3G to premium Quad-Band WCDMA/ HSUPA.

“Providing unmatched RF performance in a compact package enables manufacturers to rapidly develop full-featured mobile devices,” said Tim Dunn, vice president of Handsets at TriQuint. “Today, we are also utilizing our module expertise to expand into products for value-added services such as GPS LNA-Filter modules, and an 802.11 b/g/n + Bluetooth Front-End Module.”

With the introduction of the TRITIUM III PA-Duplexer module (TQM626028) and the QUANTUM II Tx module (TQM6M9014), TriQuint adds support for an additional 3G band to its WCDMA/HSUPA solution. Specifically, the TQM626028 adds support for WCDMA/HSUPA Band 8. Previously announced members of the TRITIUM PA-Duplexer family, the TQM616021, TQM666022, TQM676025, provide support for Bands 1, 2, 5/6, respectively. The TQM6M9014 QUANTUM module includes linear switch support for WCDMA/HSUPA Band 8 in addition to Bands 1, 2, 5/6. Samples of both products will be available from April 2009.

TriQuint will exhibit its full range of innovative RF solutions at the 2009 GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
