Business Wire
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile
connectivity, today announced that Samsung is leveraging its
ultra-compact and high efficiency front-end modules (FEMs) for
open-loop EDGE, and power amplifiers (PAs) for WCDMA and HSDPA
across more than 10 innovative universal mobile telecommunications
system (UMTS) models. In particular, Skyworks is supporting their
first mobile TV slider phone for Europe. At a slim 16.7 millimeters
(mm), the P960 supports both European mobile TV technology
standards � digital video broadcast-handheld (DVB-H), and the new
open mobile alliance mobile broadcast service enabler suite
(OMA-BCAST). The handset features optimized viewing with a large
2.6 inch quarter video graphics array (QVGA) thin film transistor
(TFT) screen, and Bang & Olufsen ICEPower technology for
top-notch audio. The device also offers a 3-megapixel camera with
power LED, music player, and FM radio with RDS for 24/7 news.
�Skyworks congratulates Samsung on achieving the milestone launch
of Europe�s first DVB-H handset, and is pleased to support their
family of compelling mobile TV platforms,� said Liam K. Griffin,
Skyworks� senior vice president of sales and marketing. �Our
participation in their P960 design reflects our multimode
design-win momentum and UMTS market share gains at Samsung and
other OEMs.� The SKY77519 FEM incorporated by Samsung is the
industry�s smallest solution for open-polar EDGE architectures,
enabling OEMs to raise the mobile bar with an optimized power usage
solution (OPUS) and delivering maximum performance that can help
increase talk times by 10 percent, improve power savings by 30
percent, and expand battery capacity by 10 percent. As a result,
the P960 promises battery life of up to five hours of TV watching
time. In addition, the small and efficient SKY77170 PA packs full
1920-1980 megahertz (MHz) bandwidth coverage into a single compact
package. A directional coupler is integrated into the module, thus
eliminating the need for any external coupler. The single gallium
arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC)
contains all active circuitry in the module. About DVB-H DVB-H was
officially endorsed by the European Union as the �preferred
technology for terrestrial mobile broadcasting� on March 18. It
offers high service level quality, very low in battery consumption,
and simultaneously receives broadcasts while using other mobile
services such as telephony and Internet access. About Skyworks
