RFMD, a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency solutions, announced it has shipped more than one million RF7196D high-power, high-efficiency CMOS power amplifiers (PAs). The ultra-low cost RF7196D is RFMD's newest and most innovative CMOS PA, delivering a revolutionary combination of cost, size and performance. It is in mass production in support of multiple high-volume 2G and 3G handset platforms, and shipments are expected to increase rapidly, reaching approximately 10 million units by the end of the September quarter.

Vaunix Technology Corp., a manufacturer of Lab Brick USB powered test equipment, has added an attenuation profile feature to the LDA series attenuators. The attenuation profile is user programmable with the capability to simulate various real-world fading conditions.

e2v aerospace and defense announced that it has completed full qualification of a family of re-engineered 8-bit microcontrollers incorporating the 80C51 CPU architecture. These products have been fully re-engineered and manufactured on a mainstream CMOS process, and are compliant to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Standard Microcircuit Drawings (SMDs). These microcontrollers serve as drop-in replacements for a variety of 80C51 architecture devices from original suppliers such as AMD, Atmel, Intel, NXP and Philips, and are widely used in military and aerospace applications.
