Atmel's TEMIC Semiconductors Announces 900-/ 1900-MHz SiGe LNAs Providing Outstanding Reception Quality for GSM, DCS and PCS Phones.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers HEILBRONN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2000 TEMIC TEMIC Telecommunications Executive Management Institute of Canada Semiconductors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atmel Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML ATML Automatic Test Markup Language ATML Automated Test Markup Language ), released today two new dual-gain low-noise amplifiers manufactured in SiGe technology. The IC TST TST 1 Toxic shock toxin 2 Treadmill stress test, see there 0950 can be used for conventional superheterodyne See superheterodyne receiver. or direct-conversion receivers in 925-MHz to 960-MHz GSM mobile phones and ISM applications, the TST0951 is designed for DCS (1) See also DSC. (2) Digital Cross-connect System) A network switching and grooming device used by telecom carriers. See digital cross-connect. and PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. mobile phone applications in the frequency range of 1800 MHz to 2000 MHz. TEMIC Semiconductors' low-noise amplifiers TST095x with 2-stage amplifier and switchable gain provide the perfect combination of low noise (NF = 2.2 dB in high-gain mode), large signal capability (IIP3= -7 dBm in low-gain mode) and high reverse isolation (min. -40 dB). A high reverse isolation ensures that no power will be emitted between mixer and antenna in direct-conversion applications. The resulting high dynamic range ensures maximum reception quality at both very small and very large signal levels. The new circuits are easy to use. Design-in can be carried out quickly with only few external components. The low noise figure at simultaneously good 50-Ohm matching additionally simplifies design-in. Both low current consumption (IS = 10 mA) and power-down function help to extend battery lifetime. "When using our new TST0950 and TST0951 devices, designing mobile phones will be easier and faster than ever, and users will enjoy sophisticated end product with outstanding reception and longer operating time," commented Roland Polonio, Product Marketing Manager at TEMIC Semiconductors. Samples of the TST0950 and TST0951 in small SSO8 package are available now, high-volume production is running. Pricing starts at $1.50 (10 k) for the TST0950 or TST0951. TEMIC Semiconductors designs, manufactures and markets on a worldwide basis technically advanced integrated circuits to serve Communications, Automotive, Dataprocessing and Aerospace markets, using CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss."
