TriQuint Intros TQM7M4022 Power Amplifier Module

TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. (Hillsboro, OR) announced initial production shipments of a new high-efficiency, low-cost 7 mm x 7 mm x 1.3 mm, quad-band, GSM GPRS power amplifier module (PAM). The TQM7M4022 GSM PAM provides advanced internal voltage reference and power control functionality in a low pin-count package compatible with existing phone PCB board design and manufacturing techniques.

Design of the TQM7M4022 uses the high integration features of TriQuint's second-generation InGaP HBT 150 mm process to minimize application circuit complexity. Only two external components are required to complete the application circuit in most phone designs. The new module's low pin-count (17) and minimal external SMDs required (2) provide good solderability and ease-of-use in PCB design and assembly.

Samples and production quantities of the TQM7M4022 GSM GPRS power amplifier module are now available.
