Anadigics’ InGaP-based ProEficient-Plus powers Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4
Broadband wireless and wireline communications component maker Anadigics Inc of Warren, NJ, USA says it is shipping production volumes of its ALT6735 ProEficient-Plus power amplifier (PA) to Samsung Electronics for the new Galaxy Note 4.
“We are pleased to continue playing a critical role in the Samsung Galaxy Note success story by enabling wireless connectivity in each of the past three generations of this award-winning product line,” said Jerry Miller, senior vice president of Worldwide Sales and Applications at Anadigics. “Our differentiated ProEficient-Plus solutions offer the industry’s highest combined efficiency. This performance advantage enables large-screen mobile devices to offer an unparalleled multimedia experience with maximum talk time and data use.”
ProEficient-Plus power amplifiers utilize the Anadigics’ patented InGaP-Plus technology and innovative design architectures to deliver the industry’s highest efficiency across all power levels, enabling greater talk time and longer data application use, says the firm. This level of performance, combined with exceptionally low quiescent currents without the use of a DC/DC converter, maximizes battery life in mobile devices. The ALT6735 power amplifier delivers 44% power added efficiency (PAE) at +28.8 dBm and a 31% PAE at +16.5 dBm. ProEficient-Plus power amplifiers are also designed for use with an external switch mode power supply (SMPS), in applications using average power tracking (APT), to further increase efficiency and reduce current consumption at low and medium operating powers.
