Skyworks upgrades revenues to $420 million for Q4 2012
The RF innovator of high performance analogue semiconductors has also updated its Non-GAAP Diluted EPS to $0.52
HMC-CO59
The HMC-C059 and the HMC-C027 are GaAs pHEMT Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) modules which are rated from 1 to 12 GHz and 29 to 36 GHz, respectively. These high performance amplifier modules exhibit noise figures as low as 1.8 dB, with up to 20 dB of gain and up to +30 dBm output IP3.
The HMC-C059 LNA module features integrated voltage regulators and consumes 60 mA from a +6V supply, while the HMC-C027 operates directly from a single +3V supply and consumes only 80 mA.
The HMC-C020 and the HMC-C021 are GaAs pHEMT Power Amplifier modules which are rated from 17 to 24 GHz and 21 to 31 GHz, respectively. These powerful amplifier modules deliver up to +24 dBm output P1dB, up to +30 dBm output IP3, and up to 22 dB of gain.
The HMC-C026 is a Wideband High Gain GaAs pHEMT Driver Amplifier module which is rated from 2 to 20 GHz and provides up to 31 dB gain and +24 dBm output P1dB, with noise figure as low as 2.5 dB. The HMC-C020, HMC-C021 and the HMC-C026 feature integrated voltage regulators which allow for flexible biasing of both the negative and positive supply pins, while internal bias sequencing circuitry assures robust operation.
Each of these lower cost hermetically sealed modules feature internally matched and internally DC blocked RF I/Os, making them ideal for both engineering laboratory and production screening test environments.
All connectorised module products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company’s e-commerce site or via direct purchase order.
Skyworks Solutions has updated its financial outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 given strong program ramps across its analogue and mobile Internet businesses and continued operating leverage within its business model.
The Company now anticipates revenue of $420 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, on the high end of its previous guidance range of $415 to $420 million, which would represent an 8 percent sequential increase.
Skyworks also expects to deliver non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.52 versus guidance of $0.50 to $0.51, which would represent a 16 percent sequential increase for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
The company’s previous guidance was provided on July 18th, 2012 during its third quarter fiscal 2012 conference call.
GaAs device revenue reaches new heights
Although 2011 revenues hit a record $5.2 billion, growth is expected to slow down in the future
According to Strategy Analytics, a fast start to 2011 allowed the GaAs device market to withstand a slowdown toward the end of the year and post record revenue for 2011.
Continuing growth in demand for handset power amplifiers offset ongoing uncertainty in the global economy to propel the market to growth from last year’s value. The market research firm’s most recent report, “GaAs Industry Forecast: 2011-2016”, reports the overall GaAs device market grew by
October 2012
