Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA) will showcase its latest innovation in broadband wireless technology at the annual Wireless System Design Conference in San Diego. The company will introduce three new Phased Lock Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers and DC/DC converters, along with a new series of Spread Spectrum Clock Generators (SSCGs) that aim to reduce Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) and improve overall performance in compact packages. Aditya Agrawal, senior marketing manager at FMA, will present a keynote session on the benefits of WiMAX implementations for the next generation of broadband wireless access.

Key Takeaways:

  • The MB39A112, MB39A113, and MB39A114 DC/DC converters meet the rapidly changing power management requirements of portable and handheld devices, utilizing pulse width modulation techniques to maximize performance.
  • The MB88150 series of SSCGs reduce EMI by modulating clock frequencies, attenuating peak emissions in devices operating at increasingly higher frequencies.
  • The three new single-serial-input PLL frequency synthesizers, the MB15E05SR, MB15E06SR, and MB15E07SR, feature a normalized noise floor of -218dBc/Hz or better, meeting the stringent requirements of GSM, PCS, and high-frequency wireless applications.
  • Each PLL has separate charge pump power supply pins and can operate with voltages up to 5.5V, enabling use in a wide range of wireless applications with a broad tuning range.
  • The new devices deliver features and benefits critical for next-generation consumer and computer products, offering optimal device technology in compact packages.
  • Fujitsu Microelectronics America provides high-quality, reliable semiconductor products and services for various markets in North and South America, including networking, communications, automotive, and security.

Statistics:

  • The new devices have a normalized noise floor of -218dBc/Hz or better.
  • The PLLs can operate with voltages up to 5.5V.
  • The MB88150 series of SSCGs reduce EMI by modulating clock frequencies.
  • The MB15E05SR, MB15E06SR, and MB15E07SR PLL frequency synthesizers meet the stringent requirements of GSM, PCS, and high-frequency wireless applications.
