WCDMA Power Amps Meet HSDPA

Expanding the HELP WCDMA power-amplifier family, the AWT6272, AWT6276, and AWT6277 comply with high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) requirements while maintaining compatibility with UMTS data services. Similar to their predecessors, the amplifiers rely on the company's InGaP-Plus technology, which integrates bipolar and FET structures on the same die. The three devices specify quiescent currents of 16 mA or lower, leakage currents of less than 1 &956;A, and are available in 10-pin, 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.1 mm surface-mount packages that meet RoHS requirements. Price is $2.46 each/10,000 units. ANADIGICS INC., Warren, NJ. (908) 668-5000.
