ANADIGICS Continues to Stand Behind LG Electronics, Powering Phone Giant's Latest Multimedia Mobile Handset
Company's Dual-Band Power Amplifier Extends Battery Life and Enhances Functionality for LG Voyager, Latest Touch Screen Multimedia Phone With QWERTY Keyboard
WARREN, N.J., /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD) announced that it is shipping production volumes of ANADIGICS' AWT6321 dual-band power amplifier (PA) for use in LG Electronics' new Voyager, a touch screen multimedia phone, currently available through Verizon Wireless. ANADIGICS' EV-DO HELP2(TM) PA made it possible for LG to design a contemporary styled, more power efficient phone that is capable of providing consumers with longer talk and multimedia playback times, as well as the enhanced multimedia and data services that they have come to expect.
The first handset with both interactive 2.8-inch touch screen and a QWERTY keyboard with widely-spaced keys for easy messaging, LG's Voyager provides V CAST Mobile TV and full HTML Internet browsing. The phone features a music player, dual speakers for stereo sound, an internal screen, Bluetooth(R) connectivity and a 2.0-mega pixel camera/camcorder.
"ANADIGICS is proud of its long tradition of supplying LG Electronics with our best-of-breed technology for their state-of-the art wireless communication devices," said Dr. Bami Bastani, President and CEO ANADIGICS. "By utilizing our EV-DO HELP2(TM) module in their latest multimedia handsets, LG has once again demonstrated their faith in the strength and quality of ANADIGICS' products and technology as well as our role as valued partner with key players in the wireless industry such as LG."
Through selectable bias modes, the AWT6321 achieves optimal efficiency across different output power levels, specifically at low- and mid- range power levels where the PA typically operates, thereby dramatically increasing handset talk-time and standby-time. Its built-in voltage regulator eliminates the need for external switches. The 3 mm x 5 mm x 1 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency and linearity in a 50 ohm system.
The AWT6321 is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. This device is part of ANADIGICS' 2nd generation of High- Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP(TM)) family of CDMA power amplifiers, which deliver low quiescent currents and significantly greater efficiency without a costly external DAC or DC-DC converter.
The ANADIGICS AWT6321 PA is available now. For additional information, contact ANADIGICS by phone 908.668.5000 or FAX 908.668.5132 or visit the Company's website
