RFMD PowerSmart power platform family expanded with 3G and 4G LTE variants
The latest PowerSmart power platforms include PowerSmart 4G, a converged multimode multi-band power platform capable of up to 12 bands of 4G LTE, 3G and 2G. PowerSmart 4G is specifically designed for 4G LTE operation and expands upon the company’s first-generation PowerSmart power platform by adding three additional bands of 3G or 4G LTE coverage. It also includes all necessary switch and signal conditioning functionality in a compact reference design, providing smartphone manufacturers a single scalable source for the entire front end.
The expanded PowerSmart product family also includes a power platform optimized for emerging 3G entry (3Ge) applications and capable of multimode multi-band coverage of up to seven bands of 3G or 2G. It also includes all necessary switch and signal conditioning functionality in a compact reference design.
In addition to the 4G and 3Ge power platforms, RFMD is expanding the PowerSmart product family to include multiple 3G and 4G discrete power amplifiers (PAs). The discrete PAs can be placed optionally with any PowerSmart power platform to achieve additional band or mode coverage. Architected in tandem with the RF Configurable Power Core™ in each PowerSmart power platform, these discrete PAs can deliver significantly improved PA efficiency at backed-off power.
