FCS Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (MM)

Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) will display its leading-edge RF solutions for 3G handset, WLAN and WiMAX applications at the upcoming International Microwave Symposium (IMS) conference. Being held June 3 to 8, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the IMS 2007 conference is sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) and attracts a worldwide audience of RF/microwave professionals. Fairchild�s RF power amplifiers for WCDMA/HSDPA address the need to improve battery life in next-generation 3G handsets and offer decreased current consumption at all power levels. For WLAN and WiMAX applications, a critical industry concern is providing high-performance, easy-to-use RF devices in compact packages. Fairchild�s WLAN and WiMAX devices offer industry-leading performance in terms of high linearity, low current consumption, high levels of integration and low-profile, ultra-compact packaging. In addition to exhibiting RF products in booth 1343 at IMS 2007, Fairchild�s technologists will present the paper: �A WCDMA HBT Power Amplifier Module with Integrated Si DC Power Management IC for Current Reduction under Backoff Operation,� by Gary Hau, Jeffrey Turpel, James Garrett and Harvey Golladay. �Fairchild�s RF solutions offer high performance with significantly reduced current consumption�all to answer the needs of current- and next-generation wireless platforms,� said Sanjiv Shah, Fairchild�s director of marketing, RF products. �In addition to RF solutions for 3G handset, WLAN and WiMAX markets, Fairchild offers an extensive RF portfolio of high-volume components for the wireless communications industry.� About Fairchild Semiconductor Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) is the global leader in power analog and power discrete technologies delivering energy-efficient solutions for all electronic systems.
