Anadigics InGaP technology
powers Huawei Ascend P6 The company’s HELP 3G indium gallium phosphide power amplifier provides low-power mode efficiency for longer talk time and battery life
Anadigics is shipping production volumes of its AWC6340 HEL (High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power) power amplifier (PA) to Huawei for the new Ascend P6.
This ultra-slim smartphone features a 4.7-inch HD display, 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, 8 megapixel camera, and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system.
“We are very pleased to enable 3G connectivity in the Ascend P6, the world’s slimmest smartphone,” says Navi Miglani, director of product marketing for Cellular Products at Anadigics.
“The selection of Anadigics’ AWC6340 power amplifier for this flagship smartphone not only exemplifies the strength of our relationship with Huawei, but also the space-saving and total battery-life benefits across all power levels delivered by our RF solutions. We look forward to working closely with Huawei to continue advancing the fit, form, and function of mobile communications,” adds Miglani.
Anadigics’ HELP 3G power amplifiers utilise the company’s patented InGaP-Plus technology to achieve higher efficiency at low and high power levels and minimize quiescent current, thereby helping to extend battery life in smartphones.
HELP power amplifiers also deliver exceptional linearity to ensure a stable connection for clear voice and high-speed data. The compact 3 mm x 3 mm AWC6340 power amplifier features an internal voltage regulator and integrated RF coupler to simplify design and phone calibration requirements. This level of integration reduces external component requirements and saves valuable PCB space.
