FCSI announces its third GaAs MMIC

FCSI has introduced a third new GaAs MMIC into its family of GaAs MMIC’s designed to reduce the manufacturing costs of cellular terminal phones. Using true enhancement - mode GaAs FET processing, FCSI has truly eliminated the dual supply requirement of phone manufacturers using high performance GaAs products.

With fewer components necessary (no need for a drain switch or negative voltage generator) the phones will have lower overall manufacturing costs, while maintaining product performance. This product is designed to meet the requirements of the AMPS phones built to operate at 3.6V and high efficiency; in order to meet the continuing efforts to reduce the phone size.

The Fujitsu family of products (FMM 5509ZE, FMM 5512ZE, and FMM 5514ZE) serves a broad range of Cellular and WLL applications; including GSM, AMPS, TDMA, and CDMA. In addition to the cost savings by the phone manufacturers’ operations; these devices are available in a very low thermal resistance, ultra small plastic package (16 pin / SSOP-16 compatible), which minimizes the product cost.
