Skyworks Secures Multiple EDGE and Next-Gen WCDMA
Smart Phone Wins at Samsung
Samsung is leveraging Skyworks' Front-End Solutions to power numerous 3G handsets including
the world's first
12 Megapixel Touchscreen Camera Phone
  WOBURN,
Mass. – September 14, 2009 – Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high reliability
analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets, today announced that Samsung is
leveraging both quad-band GSM/EDGE and next-generation WCDMA front-end solutions to power a variety of new 3G
smart phones including the Pixon12, the world’s first 12 megapixel touchscreen camera phone.
 Skyworks
has also secured EDGE and WCDMA power amplifier design wins for more than 15 additional Samsung smart phones
currently in production. These new models include the GT-I8000 Omnia2 featuring a vast AMOLED touchscreen; the
GT-S8000, Samsung’s first Android phone; the GT-M6710, or new Beat Disc Edition handset; the GT-M7600 Beat DJ,
which is the world’s only mobile phone with music playback software; and the affordable GT-S5600 touchscreen
phone.
“Skyworks is pleased to be further expanding its relationship with Samsung, particularly as they
develop innovative platforms to support growing consumer demand for high-end smart phones with touchscreen and
camera capability,” said Liam K. Griffin, Skyworks’ senior vice president of sales and marketing. “The Samsung
design wins, among others, not only demonstrate Skyworks’ ability to capitalize on the three-fold increase in
content in today’s multimode phones, but also highlights Skyworks’ ability to deliver high performance,
cost-effective solutions to the industry’s top-tier handset OEMs.”
About Skyworks’ Front-End
Solutions
The
SKY77186 (1920-1980 MHz), the
SKY77187 (1850-1910 MHz), the
SKY77188 (824-849 MHz), and the
SKY77189 (880-915 MHz) state-of-the-art power amplifier modules (PAMs) are fully matched 10-pad surface mount
3 x 3 millimeter (mm) devices developed for next-generation WCDMA applications in a single compact package.
Because of high efficiencies attained throughout the entire power range, these small and efficient modules deliver
unsurpassed talk-time advantages. They also meet the stringent spectral linearity requirements of high speed
downlink packet access (HSDPA) data transmission with high power added efficiency (PAE). In addition, a
directional coupler is integrated into the modules thus eliminating the need for any external coupler.
The
SKY77336 PAM is designed in a compact form factor for quad-band cellular handsets comprising GSM850/900,
DCS1800 and PCS1900, supporting gaussian minimum shift keying (GSMK) and polar enhanced data for GSM evolution
(EDGE) modulation. Class 12 general packet radio service (GPRS) multi-slot operation is also supported, with lead
(Pb)-free, restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant packaging.
About Samsung’s Pixon12
The Pixon12 is the world’s first 12 megapixel camera phone
and features a 3.1 inch AMODLED touchscreen display with 10,000:1 contrast and auto-focus, Xenon and power light
emitting diode (LED) flash, a 28 millimeter wide-angle lens, smart auto mode, and dedicated shutter button. It can
also record 720 x 480 videos at 30 frames per second. The handset includes Share Pix functionality, which enables
users to upload photos and videos to social networking sites like Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, MySpace and
Photobucket. The Pixon12 also has a built-in global positioning system receiver, FM tuner, 150 megabyte internal
memory, and a microSD card slot. It supports quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band high speed packet access (HSPA) 3.5
networks as well as wireless fidelity (WiFi) connectivity.
