current consumption we are delivering the battery life that consumers have come to expect in mobile devices”.
The new, highly integrated single-die PA is fully matched with a step attenuator, power detector and harmonic filter all in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.6mm Quad Flat No Lead (QFN) package.
The integrated impedance match combines with the product’s functionality to create a “plug-and- play” solution that both simplifies the design of mobile WiMAX products and improves their manufacturability. The lower current consumption and higher efficiency of the SE7271T reduces current draw and leads to improved the battery life in WiMAX-enabled handsets, mobile Internet devices and laptops.
PA current consumption is critical in USB dongles, where the limits on available power supply current typically force reductions in the RF output power of less-efficient PAs, reducing network coverage and data rate.
Shah commented, “Our competitors struggle with delivering to customers the key value points for the evolution of mobile WiMAX products. Competitive products are physically larger or are not compliant with the temperature range required for data cards and USB dongles. And some don’t cover the complete 2.5 GHz WiMAX band.”
He continued, “Full 2.3-2.7 GHz coverage, increased efficiency at high RF power levels, -40 to +85 degree Celsius operating temperature range, reduced package height – these are critical performance areas for mobile WiMAX PAs. The SE7271T delivers on all of them.”
According to Dell’Oro Group, a leading provider of market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, WiMAX subscribers are expected to rise from 7 million in 2009 to 69 million by 2013.
Shah added, “Whether using wired or wireless networks, today’s consumers expect broadband speed and performance. WiMAX is the next- generation standard for delivering wireless high-bandwidth connectivity in fixed and mobile environments, and our radiofrequency PAs and FEMs deliver the reliability, flexibility, and

performance OEMs require and WiMAX consumers demand.”
He concluded, “The SE7271T provides our customers with an integrated solution for their designs. The reduced design time it supports, with the smallest footprint for its functionality as well as the reduction of the number of components required and cost, all make it a device of choice for USB dongles, data cards, mobile Internet devices and WiMAX-enabled handsets”.
The SE7271T comes in a small lead and halogen free, ROHS-compliant, 3mm x 3mm x 0.6mm QFN package. The SE7271T is priced at US$2.22 in quantities of 10,000 units and is in production now.

Emcore Receives Notification of Deficiency from NASDAQ
Emcore’s minimum bid price has been less than $1 for 30 consecutive business days, and hence does not comply with NASDAQ regulations. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before March 22, 2011.
Emcore Corporation, a provider of compound semiconductor-based components, received a notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market on September 23, 2010, indicating that the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.
As a result, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a) (1). The NASDAQ notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock.
Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar
