ANADIGICS Introduces First Complete RF Front-End Chip Set for DOCSIS(R) 3.0 Cable Modems

May 10, 2007

Integrated Tuner, Upstream Amplifier Enable Wideband
Systems that
Support High Speed Interactive Data and IP Video

    WARREN, N.J., May 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ANADIGICS,
Inc. 
(Nasdaq: ANAD) today announced the industry's first
complete RFIC solution for cable modems designed to meet
the new DOCSIS(R) 3.0 standard: the ANADIGICS ARA2017
programmable gain upstream amplifier, and the ANADIGICS
AIT1061 integrated wideband data tuner. 

    The ARA2017 is the first upstream amp available for
DOCSIS 3.0, while the AIT1061 has the smallest form factor
(6 x 6 x 1 mm) of any current DOCSIS 3.0 tuner.  ANADIGICS
looks forward to providing product for this fall's
inaugural DOCSIS 3.0 equipment certification tests at
CableLabs.

    DOCSIS 3.0 enables downstream data rates of 160 Mbps
and upstream rates of 120 Mbps, which represent 4X the
speed of today's cable modem networks.  Fast enough for
IP-TV service, these speeds are achieved by
"bonding" together multiple data channels for
higher throughput. 

    The wide capture bandwidth of the AIT1061 tuner enables
the simultaneous reception of multiple channels, and the
exceptional linearity of both components in the ANADIGICS
chip set preserves the integrity of each channel. The
ARA2017 upstream amplifier's high output power capability
and low voltage transients also meet the new standard's
specs for power output. 

    "We are proud to be working with leading reference
design companies and modem equipment manufacturers,"
said Ron Michels, Senior Vice President and General Manager
of Broadband Products at ANADIGICS. "Our process
technology delivers the high performance and functionality
necessary to meet the stringent needs of the DOCSIS 3.0
specification.  The DOCSIS 3.0 tuner and upstream amp are
important additions to our extensive portfolio of RF
products for the cable industry."

    The ANADIGICS ARA2017 is an ultra-linear, high-output,
programmable gain amplifier optimized for DOCSIS 3.0 cable
modem and E-MTA applications. It delivers output power
levels of +64 dBmV with very low (-55 dBc) harmonic
distortion and output noise levels as low as -53.8 dBmV.
The ARA2017 form factor is a 28-Pin QFN 5 x 5 x 1 mm
package.

    Specifically designed for DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem
applications, the ANADIGICS AIT1061 includes all the
functions of a double-conversion wideband data tuner in the
industry's smallest package.  The chip integrates
upconverter, downconverter, VCO, synthesizer, IF amplifier,
RF gain control and IF gain control. 

    The AIT1061 maintains exceptional linearity over wide
RF input and IF capture bandwidths to accommodate
multi-channel operation. It also features high gain and low
noise figure. The AIT1061 operates from a single +5 V
source, eliminating the need for a second power supply. 

    Because of their small form factor, the ARA2017 and the
AIT1061 are ideal choices for space-sensitive cable modem
designs.  The ANADIGICS ARA2017 and AIT1061 are
manufactured using a material set consistent with the
European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS).
