TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. (Hillsboro, OR) introduced its new TQM7M60001 dual-band UMTS power amplifier module (PAM) in a small form factor of 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.1 mm. The TQM7M6001 UMTS dual-band PAM complements the TriQuint product family of GSM/GPRS/EDGE power amplifier modules for next-generation, front-end system needs.
The new TQM7M6001 power amplifier module's biasing circuit is optimized for low idle current consumption (below 30 mA). The TQM7M6001's output power of 27.5 dBm minimum offers ample margin for front-end losses. Furthermore, its linearity of 7 dB margin to ETSI-requirements for UMTS offers sufficient margin for applying additional transmit channels for large-scale data transmission rates.
Sample availability for the TQM7M6001 is limited due to customer demand.
