Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Agilent E-pHEMT PA modules have been designed into six mobile terminal platforms for both CDMA and GSM air interfaces, including a phone from one of the top three GSM handset manufacturers.
To keep up with the demand for high-efficiency PA modules and other E-pHEMT products, Agilent is quickly ramping its new state of the art 6in wafer fab in Ft Collins, Colorado.
The fab offers high volume manufacturing capacity, and leverages state-of-the-art CMOS statistical process control techniques to optimise performance of advanced analogue/mixed-signal devices.
The three new Agilent E-pHEMT PA modules - two for CDMA/AMPS handsets and one for GSM - provide the industry's best power-added efficiency, and allow manufacturers to increase mobile phone battery life by as much as 15%.
Battery life is a critical feature in today's multi-function phones.
Of the CDMA modules, the ACPM-7813 addresses the 800MHz dual-mode band, whereas the ACPM-7833 operates in the 1900MHz (PCS) range for handsets and wireless data terminal applications.
The CDMA modules offer an industry-best power-added efficiency rating of 40%, with E-pHEMT technology that requires only a single positive power supply.
The ACPM-7891 PA module is targeted at triband GSM/GPRS phones, and offers superior power-added efficiency of up to 60% in GSM band and 56% in both DCS and PCS bands. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
