FMI's telecommunications IC product offering includes a wide range of advanced Radio Frequency (RF) devices. These products are used in diverse wireless applications such as cellular and cordless telephones, wireless LAN/WAN systems and wireless PBX systems.For example, Fujitsu is a leading worldwide supplier of SAW filters, a critical component of cellular telephones. About half the cellular phones currently in use worldwide utilize Fujitsu's technology.
FMI's phase-locked-loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers offer a wide range of operation frequencies to meet diverse design requirements. The company's low-power PLLs, the MB15A01 and MB15A02, feature smaller packages and reduced power consumption, meeting the needs of portable, cellular and related wireless system designs.
Fujitsu is also one of the few companies to offer SuperPLLs, which combine multiple functions into a complete integrated solution. The company's new high-speed SuperPLLs, such as the MB1516A, meet the industry's strictest performance standards, making them appropriate for virtually any digital cellular application.
Other products include prescalers; multi-function, super-analog devices; and power-management devices. The most recent power-management switch, the MB3802, greatly reduces power consumption when portable computers are in stand-by mode, extending battery life.
FMI is also one of the few semiconductor companies to offer an RF integration road map through the use of Fujitsu's LSI RF Mixed Signal Technology. This technology helps customers go from discrete solutions to an integrated, single-chip solution, thereby reducing the size, cost and weight of products while shortening the development time.
