UAA3587

UAA3587 RF SiP Integrating passive and active components into a single package, this complete RF transceiver improves performance while eliminating 35 external components and enabling an RF front-end of less than 2.5 cm2. Complete, single-package GSM/GPRS/EDGE RF transceiver Semiconductors The UAA3587, the first Philips System-in-Package (SiP) solution to use a new silicon-based structure, is a complete RF transceiver for GSM, GPRS, and EDGE mobile phones. It uses innovative techniques to combine passive and active components in a single package, maximizing RF performance while significantly reducing external component count and overall design size. The SiP uses 35 fewer external RF components than the previous generation and enables a design area of less than 2.5 cm2 for the complete radio sub-system. Combined with the miniaturization of other components, the SiP offers increased RF performance while saving 30% more space than the previous “best-in-class” solution and 50% more than the industry average. By replacing dozens of active and passive components in a single, drop-in solution, the SiP dramatically cuts assembly costs and time-to-market. By bringing the passive component networks closer together, the SiP shortens interconnect lengths and reduces parasitics, thereby improving overall RF performance.
