Anadigics PAs Power Sierra Wireless’ AirPrime MC Products

The firms’ HELP3E dual-band power amplifiers enable Sierra wireless' 4G AirPrime MC7700, AirPrime MC7710, and AirPrime MC7750 wireless modules.

Anadigics, a producer of radio frequency (RF) and mixed signal semiconductor products, is shipping production volumes of its third generation High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP3E) dual-band power amplifiers (PAs) to Sierra Wireless.

Sierra Wireless’ AirPrime MC7700 and MC7750 embedded modules are powered by Anadigics’ AWU6615. The AirPrime MC7710 is enabled by the AWU6618.

 



“Our AirPrime MC Series embedded modules help our customers take full advantage of new 4G network technologies,” said Dan Schieler, Senior VP and General Manager, Mobile Computing for Sierra Wireless. “With unprecedented throughput, these modules open up new opportunities for mobile computing, multimedia, and HD video applications. The superior performance and reliability of Anadigics' HELP3E power amplifiers play a critical role in our AirPrime MC series and support our efforts to deliver superior network 3G and 4G connectivity.”

“Anadigics is proud to be a part of the Sierra Wireless success story,” said Michael Canonico, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Anadigics. “The AirPrime MC series unleashes the full potential of mobile devices by leveraging the latest 3G and 4G technologies. Our strong portfolio of industry-leading power amplifiers, high-volume manufacturing prowess, and exceptional quality enable Anadigics to contribute to the development of current generation and next generation mobile platforms.”

Anadigics’ HELP3E PAs use the Company’s exclusive InGaP-Plus technology to achieve optimal efficiency across low-range and mid-range output power levels and provide low quiescent currents. The compact 3 mm by 5 mm HELP3E dual-band PAs feature an integrated voltage regulator. This level of integration reduces printed circuit board (PCB) space by 25% compared with current generation dual-band solutions.

HELP3E PAs have three mode states to achieve high power-added efficiencies at low-range and mid-range output power levels and integrate two independent PAs in a single package. With a 3 mm by 5 mm footprint, they have Internal voltage regulation and an integrated RF coupler. The modules are WCDMA/UMTS, HSPA, and HSPA+ compliant.
