Avago Technologies Advances Its CoolPAM Power Amplifier Architecture to Further Extend Battery Life of Handsets.Technical Innovations to Improve CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. and W-CDMA See WCDMA. Applications BARCELONA, Spain -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced new advancements in its innovative CoolPAM power amplifier Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. architecture which will extend handset battery life. The company is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. Handsets and other mobile devices leveraging the CoolPAM technology will be able to extend battery life by as much as 20%. Products based on Avago's next generation power amplifier technology will be available in early 2008. Today's mobile systems do not require the high output power of the power amplifier (PA) a majority of the time, and consequently, the PA can be bypassed. The new CoolPAM design includes a bypass mode that vastly reduces the amount of current required by the PA, thus increasing talk time. This innovation will serve to significantly improve the performance of handsets in CDMA and W-CDMA applications. Avago's CoolPAM power amplifiers provide the kind of extended "on" time that end users expect even as handsets begin to incorporate demanding functions such as TV viewing. CoolPAM technology significantly reduces battery power consumption, allowing mobile handsets to run cooler without the additional design time or expense of a DC/DC converter. CoolPAM power amplifiers are already proven in handsets from leading manufacturers in Korea. Avago will showcase its latest mobile handset solutions at the 3GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. World Congress in booth number H61, Hall 2 during the week of February 12-15 in Barcelona, Spain.
