ANADIGICS Introduces World's Most Efficient WCDMA Power Amplifiers

February 13, 2006

ANADIGICS' New HELP3(TM) HSDPA-Compliant WCDMA Power Amplifiers Offer Industry-Leading Efficiency and Integration to Extend Talk-Time

    BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 3GSM
World Congress 2006 -- ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a
leading supplier of wireless and broadband solutions, today
introduced its third generation High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power
(HELP3(TM)) wideband CDMA (WCDMA) power amplifiers (PAs).
The Company's HELP3(TM) WCDMA PAs offer the industry's
lowest power consumption and provide full compliance with
High Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) requirements, enabling
ultra-fast multimedia access, while extending battery life.
 The complete family of HELP3(TM) WCDMA PAs has been
optimized for power and space sensitive 3G devices,
including handsets, smart phones, data cards, and embedded
notebook applications.

    "ANADIGICS is raising the performance bar for 3G
power amplifiers with our latest generation of HELP(TM)
products," said Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Wireless Products at
ANADIGICS.  "Our HELP3(TM) HSDPA-compliant power
amplifiers offer the industry's best current consumption,
allowing mobile users to experience the full potential of
3G services."

    ANADIGICS' HELP3(TM) PAs use the Company's exclusive
InGaP-Plus(TM) technology, which integrates bipolar and
field-effect transistor (FET) devices on the same InGaP
GaAs die.  Through selectable bias modes, the HELP3(TM) PAs
achieve optimal efficiency across the low-range and
mid-range output power levels. The PAs reduce average
current consumption by 75%, compared with a conventional
power amplifier.  This represents an additional 50% average
current consumption savings compared with the first
generation HELP(TM) WCDMA PAs. HELP3(TM) PAs provide
exceptionally low quiescent currents of 7 mA without an
external DC-DC converter. They also incorporate a built-in
reference voltage generator eliminating the need for
external regulators.

    The new power amplifiers are offered in compact 4 mm by
4 mm by 1 mm modules. The products are manufactured using a
materials set consistent with the European Union's
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS). 

    The AWT6273, AWT6278, AWT6279 are priced at $2.58 in
quantities of 10,000 units. Samples are available now. For
