RFMD is holding its own in the competitive PA module business, as the 250 millionth module rolls off its production line.
RF Micro Devices, has shipped its 250 millionth power amplifier module, making it the fastest company in the industry to reach this milestone. The company passed the 200 million mark in May and since then RFMD has successfully maintained the pace.

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.
