RF Micro Devices ships 250 millionth PA module
Eric Creviston, VP of wireless products at RFMD, puts the company’s success down to the popularity of its PowerStar products which feature integrated power control. “Our patent-pending PowerStar solutions have helped RFMD become the leading supplier of PAs for the GSM air interface standard, which accounts for approximately two-thirds of the world s cell phones," said Creviston.
RFMD recently introduced the RF3146, its latest generation PowerStar PA module. Based on its new, patent-pending lead frame module packaging technology, the RF3146 offers improved performance, reduced product size and lower cost. At the same time the lead frame module packaging technology helps streamline the manufacturing process, improving the company’s margins on these modules.
