Fujitsu Media Devices Launches World's Smallest Transmitter Module for CDMA Mobile Phones; FMD's Revolutionary Module With Built-in Own and High-Performance SAW Devices Achieves 30% Reduction of Circuit Area



    Fujitsu Media Devices Limited (FMD), a leading
    manufacturer specialized in devices for portable communications
    equipment, has developed the T0212AZ0836, the world's smallest
    high-performance transmitter module for CDMA (Cell band) mobile
    phones. Fujitsu Media Devices will start to supply samples this
    October. Fujitsu Media Devices lines up for W-CDMA and dual bands
    (Cell/PCS) in the future.
    Fujitsu Media Devices is developing a number of electronics
    devices for mobile phones (SAW filters, SAW duplexers, VCOs, etc.) as
    one of the leading suppliers in the world, with 20-25% of the global
    market share. Fujitsu Media Devices is growing technologies --
    including its miniaturization and unique high frequency circuit design
    by developing these devices. The module is small and high performance
    fully using the technologies.
    "FMD's new module, the T0212AZ0836, has successfully achieved
    greater density in response to requests from our customers. By
    optimizing the design of FMD's SAW filters for the T0212AZ0836, we
    have realized the high-quality finished module," said Kimiaki Iyori,
    Director VCO/RF integration Devices Design & Development Dept.,
    Communication Devices Division at Fujitsu Media Devices.

    Main features
    -0-
    *T
    1. Small and high performances
    As RF components -- the power amplifier (PA), SAW filter, SAW
    duplexer, etc. -- in the transmitter circuit are built into
    one, the size becomes small to 8.0mm x 5.0mm (height 1.4mm
    max). Due to the SAW filters and SAW duplexers own-made by
    Fujitsu Media Devices, it makes the best design on the module
    possible. Therefore the performances are very good, like high
    power efficiency and high isolation. It is a resin mold type.

    2. Reduced circuit area
    The module makes the circuit area reduced to about 30%
    compared to using all of its discrete components. The circuit
    needs around 10 components and more if discrete parts are
    used. However the module also makes components-mount-process
    and components-management-process reduced.

    3. Short design term
    The customer doesn't need to design and check the matching
    between the PA-SAW filter and the PA-SAW duplexer.
