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).
Commit, a leading TD-SCDMA terminal chipset solution provider, has selected the ACPM-7886 for its next-generation TD-SCDMA/GSM handset reference designs.
TD-SCDMA cellphones based on Commit's designs are expected to ship in 2006.
TD-SCDMA is one of three 3G wireless standards that are being pursued by the Chinese government.
Selection of the 3G licence is expected to take place in late 2006 or early 2007.
TD-SCDMA combines CDMA and TDMA technologies and is compatible with current GSM networks.
Unlike WCDMA, CDMA2000 and GSM networks, this new standard transmits and receives on the same frequency, which greatly increases spectrum efficiency.
Because TD-SCDMA effectively handles symmetrical and asymmetrical traffic, it is ideal for data-intensive applications, such as video and photo images.
"Avago has a solid track record in delivering high quality products that enable us to create the handsets that consumers want to use", said Andy Yang, Marketing Director of Commit.
"The ACPM-7886 gives us a design advantage in this highly competitive market".
Commit will use Avago's modules in its handset reference design that will feature competitive performance and cost with low power consumption, more margin and ease of use.
Avago's ACPM-7886 power amplifiers extend mobile phone battery life and talk time by offering higher power efficiencies as well as excellent low voltage performance.
Additionally, the module is designed with excellent linearity for ease of design.
A low profile package of 1.1mm also makes the module ideal for thin cellphone designs.
The ACPM-7886 devices are supplied in a 4 x 4mm footprint and can operate at 3.5V for compatibility with today's low-current consumption designs.
Samples and production quantities are available through Avago's worldwide distribution partners. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
