New ANADIGICS ICs for Mobile Devices Integrate Wi-Fi and Bluetooth RF Front Ends on One Chip

August 28, 2007

Highly Integrated, Smaller, High Efficiency ICs for Smart
Phones and Consumer Electronics Conform to 802.11b/g/n and
Bluetooth Standards

    WARREN, N.J., Aug. 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ - ANADIGICS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD) today announced a family of three
front-end ICs (FEICs) in low profile standard packages
targeting next-generation, WiFi-enabled smart phones and
consumer electronics products.  

    The AWL9230, 9231 and 9232 offer designers superior
output power and efficiency for increased data rates and
range, while preserving precious battery life in mobile
devices.  These new FEICs are uniquely positioned for the
enormous growth opportunities that smartphones and consumer
electronics represent for WiFi products. 

    ANADIGICS' new FEICs offer the industry's highest level
of GaAs on chip integration by incorporating a power
amplifier (PA), a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a Bluetooth
path, and an RF antenna switch all in a single low-profile
package measuring only 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.55 mm.  The small
physical size is made possible by the exclusive ANADIGICS
InGaP-Plus(TM) process technology, which allows all three
functions to fit on a single GaAs die.

    The parts are now being provided in sample qualities.

    "Our new front end chips are ideal for the
WiFi-enabled smartphones and consumer electronics devices
of tomorrow," said Ron Michels, Senior Vice President
and General Manager of Broadband Products at ANADIGICS.
"Striking the perfect balance between strength and
power efficiency, these highly integrated solutions enable
more WiFi and Bluetooth functionality in a smaller
space."

    The AWL9230 FEIC family is compatible with 802.11 b/g
and 802.11n MIMO WiFi standards.  With available design
space at a premium, they are ideal for mobile products such
as smart phones, cameras, game controllers, ultra-mobile
notebook computers, and USB adapters.

    The FEICs require only one capacitor and one inductor
outside the standard plastic package and they are designed
to interface directly with a WiFi/Bluetooth chipset.  The
AWL9230 FEIC achieves 3.5% EVM and draws 140 mA of current
at an output power of +19 dBm.  Designed for lower-voltage
applications, the AWL9231 achieves 3.5% EVM and draws 135
mA of current at an output power of +18 dBm.  For
higher-power applications, the AWL9232 achieves 3.5% EVM
and draws 175 mA of current at an output power of +21 dBm. 
All three have very low EVM floors at low output powers
making them a perfect fit for 802.11n MIMO applications. 
Furthermore, all output powers noted are measured at the
antenna port.

    The single-die, standard plastic-package construction
makes these devices robust and ideal for low-cost,
high-volume manufacturing.  The ANADIGICS AWL9230 family of
FEICs is manufactured using a material set consistent with
the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS).
