Qorvo® announced a portfolio of RF front ends (RFFE) for LTE Power Class 2, also known as high performance user equipment (HPUE). Smartphones that incorporate Qorvo's RFFEs combine the speed and capacity advantages of high-band spectrum with the coverage advantages of mid-band spectrum.
Thales will deliver 14, GaN-based, CWI transmitters that will be integrated into the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) fire control systems on-board Royal Danish Navy vessels.
Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. announced a new development center in Austin, staffed with 13 experienced RFIC developers, to accelerate the development of UltraCMOS® products for mobile applications. The Austin team is led by 25-year industry veteran, David Bockelman, formerly with Broadcom/Avago and Javelin Semiconductor. Peregrine is recruiting additional team members.
MaxLinear released the MxL9105 dual-channel linear coherent transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for 100G/200G dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) coherent systems. The high transimpedance gain is well-suited for metro networks that have greater signal loss, due to the prevalence of older fiber and multiple interconnects. The low input referred noise density and extremely low power consumption make it ideal for the entire range of 32 GBd ICR module designs including type 1, type 2 and the latest micro-ICR.
Unable to address the U.S. government's national security concerns, Cree will retain Wolfspeed and terminate the agreement to sell the power and RF business to Infineon Technologies. Cree's CEO said the company will invest in Wolfspeed to grow the business.
Skyworks Solutions launched its newest SkyOne® front-end solution targeting the high growth China LTE market. The SkyOne Ultra 2.5 family includes both global and region-specific architectures that allow customers to use the same printed circuit board across multiple smartphone platforms designed for diverse end markets.
Integrated Device Technology will acquire GigPeak for $3.08 per share or approximately $250 million in cash. The purchase price is approximately 22 percent higher than the closing price of GigPeak shares on February 10. The deal is expected to close during the second calendar quarter of 2017.
WIN Semiconductors reported a soft December quarter (Q4), reflecting the seasonality of the mobile phone market. However, revenue for the full year grew 13 percent. Q4 margins declined from a drop in capacity utilization and a decline in the value of gold inventory, reflecting the drop in gold prices.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) concluded that the proposed acquisition of Wolfspeed by Infineon "poses a risk to the national security of the United States." Infineon stated in a press release "that there is a considerable risk that the transaction, as agreed, is not going to close."
IBM and Ericsson announced what they claim is the world's first reported Si millimeter wave phased array antenna module operating at 28 GHz. The module consists of four MMICs and 64 dual-polarized antennas and measures approximately 2.8" x 2.8" — about half the size of a typical smartphone.
