ANADIGICS' Shipping AWT6277 Power Amplifier to Samsung for
the World's Thinnest 3G Smartphone


    WARREN, N.J., Jan. 8 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ANADIGICS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading supplier of wireless and
broadband solutions, today announced that it is shipping
its AWT6277 HELP(TM) WCDMA power amplifier (PA) module for
the innovative Samsung SGH i600 smartphone. Specifically
designed to address the Europe and Asia/Pacific region, the
SGH i600 is aimed at the high growth 3G smartphone market.

    Measuring only 11.8mm and weighing a mere 99g, the
Samsung SGH i600 is the world's thinnest 3G smartphone with
a full QWERTY key board. It blends the feature-rich, desktop
functionality of the Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(R) 5.0
platform with multimedia capabilities to help people work
and play anywhere. The Samsung SGH i600 supports the HSDPA
network for faster data transfer speeds, as well as
seamless communications through high-speed connectivity
over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR. It is also the first
smartphone to support web applications such as podcasting
and RSS feeds. 
  
    "We are extremely pleased that Samsung Electronics
has selected ANADIGICS' best-in-class 3G WCDMA power
amplifier for the Blackjack(TM) smartphone," said Dr.
Bami Bastani, President and CEO of ANADIGICS.
"ANADIGICS' industry-leading WCDMA and EDGE power
amplifiers deliver excellent voice clarity and data
integrity, as well as improving talk time of 3G devices.
Our strong 3G product portfolio and strategic relationships
with tier-one manufacturers like Samsung continues to drive
ANADIGICS' share in the 3G market upward."

    Specifically designed to meet the needs of feature rich
mobile handsets, the AWT6277 HELP(TM) WCDMA PA includes
ANADIGICS' High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP(TM))
technology which reduces WCDMA average power consumption by
50%. Selectable bias modes optimize efficiency for different
output power levels, providing outstanding efficiencies of
41% at +28.5 dBm and 21% at +16 dBm. Combined with low
leakage current in shutdown mode, the AWT6277 PA delivers
longer battery life and additional talk-time-two key
metrics for mobile handset designers. The self-contained 4
mm x 4 mm x 1.1 mm surface-mount PA incorporates matching
networks optimized for output power, efficiency, and
linearity in a 50 ohm system, which reduces device
footprint and the need for external components, making it
extremely well suited for super-thin designs. AWT6277
HELP(TM) PA is enabled by ANADIGICS' advanced
InGaP-Plus(TM) HBT technology which combines InGaP HBT
& pHEMT devices on the same die and delivers
state-of-the-art performance, reliability, temperature
stability, and ruggedness.

    The ANADIGICS AWT6277 PA is available now. For
