ANADIGICS Introduces New Integrated 1GHz RF Amplifier to Enhance Tuner Performance in Cable Boxes and TVs

May 21, 2007

Integrated 1 GHz Product Features Low Noise, Wide Dynamic
Range Gain Control and Balanced Output


    WARREN, N.J., May 21 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ANADIGICS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD) has announced the availability of the
ABA3130, a single-chip, low-noise, high linearity RF
amplifier with integrated gain control.  This device is the
latest addition to ANADIGICS' portfolio of RF products for
cable TV front end applications.  Designed to replace
existing discrete solutions, the fully integrated ABA3130
improves receiver performance in a growing number of cable
TV digital set-top boxes and analog and digital TVs.

    To ensure compatibility with tuners being developed for
the 1 GHz cable systems soon to be rolled out around the
world, the ANADIGICS ABA3130 features wideband operation of
50 MHz to 1.1 GHz. ANADIGICS is already shipping the ABA3130
RF amp to a leading cable box manufacturer.

    The ABA3130 exhibits a typical noise figure of 4.5 dB
at 5 dB gain, which enables clearer analog pictures and
better reception on digital channels. The ABA3130 also
offers a wide dynamic gain control range of 37 dB, to
prevent overloading tuner front ends. The device delivers
exceptional linearity over the full dynamic gain range,
minimizing distortion and ensuring a high quality signal
and crystal-clear video.

    "ANADIGICS' leadership products for Broadband are
addressing the ever increasing demand on bandwidth in CATV
networks. The ABA3130 addresses the 1GHz upgrade in the
industry and is based on  our GaAs proprietary process
technology for high reliability and wideband
operation," said Ron Michels, Senior Vice President
and General Manager of Broadband Products at ANADIGICS.
"According to In-Stat market research, sales of cable
set-top boxes increased nearly 80% between 2005 and 2006,
to 27.5 million units worldwide.  As integrated tuners
continue to penetrate this market, we anticipate an
increase in the need for companion products like the
ABA3130. 

    The ANADIGICS ABA3130 accepts a single-ended
(unbalanced) input and converts it to a differential
(balanced) output, which some integrated tuners require for
optimal performance. This feature eliminates the need for a
separate balun transformer on the circuit board. The high
level of integration and 3 x 3 x 1 mm form factor of the
ABA3130 further reduce the amount of board space required
for RF front-end solutions. 

    ANADIGICS' ABA3130 operates from a single 5 volt
supply. It is offered in a 12-pin surface-mount QFN package
that is manufactured using a material set consistent with
the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS).
