SANTA CLARA, Calif. And
NORWOOD, Mass., Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Marvell (Nasdaq: MRVL) and Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ADI) today announced a technology collaboration leveraging
Marvell's industry-leading 5G digital platform and ADI's
world-class wideband RF transceiver technology to deliver fully
optimized solutions for 5G base stations. As part of the
collaboration, the companies will offer fully integrated 5G digital
front-end (DFE) ASIC solutions with tightly coupled RF transceivers
and will collaborate to develop next generation Radio Unit (RU)
solutions including baseband and RF technology optimized for a
diverse set of functional splits and architectures.
"Marvell is pleased to collaborate with
ADI in addressing a significant opportunity in the next
wave of 5G network architectures," said Matt Murphy, president
and CEO of Marvell. "Marvell's leadership in baseband,
digital ASIC and transport processors combined with ADI's RF
transceiver technology creates an industry-leading architecture for
5G OEMs looking to accelerate time-to-market."
The increased complexity of 5G RUs driven both by massive MIMO
deployments and mmWave spectrum requirements present unique
challenges to RF and radio network designs. Optimized
partitioning of RF and mixed signal technology with both digital
ASIC and baseband silicon will be necessary to achieve the low
power, size and cost requirements for 5G. The combination of
Marvell and ADI's best-in-class technologies enables highly
optimized RU designs enabling both standard and customized
implementations.
"ADI has consistently been at the forefront of cellular radio
technology," said Vincent Roche, president and CEO
of Analog Devices. "We see tremendous opportunity in our
collaboration with Marvell to optimize the 5G RF and digital chain
for the benefit of our common customers. The solutions we are
developing in conjunction with Marvell will allow our customers to
build highly optimized, high performance products for this dynamic
market."
