RFRD6460 PowerSmart™ RF Platform

RFMD’s RFRD6460 3G multi-band, multimode PowerSmart™ RF Platform is targeted at Smartphones and mobile internet devices (MIDs) by providing extensive flexibility and customization, “user experience” focused performance with real-time battery life optimization, and a dramatically smaller front end solution size—all while accelerating an original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM’s) time to market.At the heart of the RFRD6460 is the industry’s first RF configurable power core, designed to seamlessly merge RFMD’s leading, industry-proven VSWR-tolerant, quadrature power amplifier technology with RFMD’s patented power management technology in a new category of cellular sub-system. Although comprised of two separate component placements, the RF6260 and the RF6560, these components were developed to operate seamlessly as an agile and highly RF configurable power core. The RF configurable power core enables the replacement of all traditionally used power amplifiers and power amplifier DC-DC converters used in 3G front ends by covering current and foreseeable modulation schemes as well as having broad, scalable band coverage that enables up to 5 bands of WCDMA/HSPA+ operation. Additionally, the power core provides performance and battery life customization without hardware changes as well as the ability to maximize efficiency across power levels, data rates, and during non-ideal load conditions (VSWR).

RFMD’s revolutionary PowerSmart™ RF Platform is the first of its kind to provide OEMs the ability to build a truly global and cost-effective Smartphone platform.This new product platform meets the widely varying needs of mobile operators and, most importantly, provides the capability to efficiently move as the user moves—between voice and data, between mobile operators, and between regions of the world. With the globalization of cellular communications, there is now a global RF platform.
