Infineon Technologies Introduces Dual-Band Low-Noise Amplifiers For GSM Phones; Now Available In Volume Quantities.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 22, 2001 Infineon Technologies (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IFX IFX - ["Type Reconstruction with First-Class Polymorphic Values", J. O'Toole et al, SIGPLAN Notices 24(7):207-217 (Jul 1989)]. )(FSE FSE 1. feline spongiform encephalopathy. 2. focal symmetrical encephalomalacia. :IFX) today announced the availability, in volume quantities, of the integrated dual Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA LNA Low-Noise Amplifier LNA Locked Nucleic Acid (Link Technologies Ltd.) LNA Linolenic Acid LNA Licensed Nursing Assistant LNA Launch Numerical Aperture LNA Ladies National Association LNA Leading National Advertisers, Inc. ) for GSM wireless handsets. Manufactured using Infineon's B7HF Silicon Germanium (SiGe) bipolar technology, the chip is designed to meet low noise and high gain requirements for both dual-band GSM900/1800 and GSM900/1900 standards. "The new dual band LNA chip underlines Infineon's technological strength and expertise in providing solutions for high volume, mobile communications applications," said Ulrich Hamann, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Infineon's Wireless Group. "By addressing the specific requirements of higher operating frequencies, low noise figures, reduced power consumption and increased level of integration, the PMB PMB Private Message Board PMB Print Measurement Bureau PMB Performance Measurement Baseline PMB Private Mail Box (non-USPS) PMB Plant and Microbial Biology PMB Private Mailbox PMB Physics in Medicine and Biology 2364 is an ideal device for mobile communication applications." The highly integrated LNA feature very low noise figures of 1.3dB at 0.95 GHz and 1.5dB at 1.85 GHz with a gain of 19dB. It takes full advantage of the high-performance B7HF process technology, which offers transition frequencies of up to 75 GHz. The PMB2364 IC also provides matched inputs/outputs and operates at a supply voltage from 2.7 to 3.6 V with very low current consumption. This integrated matching significantly reduces the number of external components compared to standard solutions. The dual-band LNA IC can be combined with Infineon's SMARTi, highly integrated GSM transceiver, to provide a complete front-end solution for mobile applications. About the process The B7HF technology has been specifically designed to meet requirements of mobile communication systems and high-speed data transmission standards. Beside the bipolar process option Infineon also provides highly integrated products with a SiGe BiCMOS process, which is called B7HFc using the same bipolar transistor. The SiGe processes enable innovative solutions for analog, mixed signal and high-level integrated RF products, such as Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) Mixers, PLLs (up to 10 GHz), Transceivers and Analog/Digital Converter (ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. ) circuits. Availability The PMB2364 is available in a very small P-TSSOP-10 in volume quantities.
