TriQuint’s newest WEDGE solution includes the TRITON PA Module™ family for WCDMA and the TQM7M5013, a HADRON II PA Module™. This solution is highly efficient, optimized for superior current consumption and available in the industry’s smallest footprint making it ideal for the rapidly expanding mobile devices market including data cards, netbooks, e-readers and next generation smartphones. The new TRITON PA Module family of 3×3mm discrete Power Amplifier Modules covers all major 3GPP WCDMA bands and is capable of multi-mode operation. The TRITON products provide superior current consumption and thermal performance, critical for today’s feature-rich smartphones and wireless devices. TriQuint designed the TRITON family for performance, size and efficiency by leveraging a combination of its proprietary and innovative technologies, Copper Flip, CuFlip™ and TQBiHEMT. CuFlip enables superior RF performance and design flexibility while speeding manufacturing and assembly. TQBiHEMT enables the integration of two gallium arsenide (GaAs) processes onto a single die, reducing part count and saving board space. Together, these processes enable TriQuint to deliver an integrated feature set using a single die inside the module; all other market solutions require multiple die and/or complex assembly processes. The TQM7M5013, a 5×5mm quad-band, HADRON II PA Module provides the GSM/EDGE portion of the WEDGE solution when paired with the TRITON modules. It incorporates an innovative architecture, enabling improved efficiency and resulting in longer talk time for consumers. The TQM7M5013 provides the building blocks for future converged/multi-mode amplifiers. Aligned with a recently released 3G Qualcomm chipset, the TQM7M5013 is highly versatile and designed into more than a dozen platforms that are expected to launch in 2010. The TQM7M5013 builds on the success of the previous generation HADRON, the TQM7M5012, which enjoys more than 50 percent¹ of today’s global market share for EDGE-Polar PAs…
