 HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 17, 2014--
 
 TriQuint        Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TQNT), a leading RF solutions supplier and        technology innovator, today announced its TQP9059, a versatile        multi-mode, multi-band power amplifier (MMPA) module with envelope        tracking, earned an award in the Outstanding RF/Wireless/Microwave        Products of the Year category at the 2014 China Annual Creativity in        Electronics (ACE) Awards.
 
 The highly integrated module not only        prolongs battery life with new envelope tracking technology, but also        simplifies complex RF design for multi-band smartphones with a new        mobile chip interface used by multiple chipset partners. It is designed        on TriQuint's GaAs HBT technology with CuFlip(R) assembly offering        state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness. Its        RF performance meets the stringent linearity, noise and harmonics        requirements for multi-mode operation while simultaneously offering a        system current consumption lower by 50mA than the nearest competitor,        thus improving battery life.
 
 "For a second year in a row,        TriQuint has been recognized by China ACE for our continuing        contributions to China's electronics industry," said Locker Jiang, China        Sales Director for Mobile Products. "The TQP9059's designation as one of        the top products in the semiconductor space is a direct reflection of        TriQuint's ongoing commitment to drive innovation and simplify RF design        for our customers."
 
 The TQP9059 is one of the earliest        envelope tracking MMPAs to be in mass production supporting a leading        smartphone. The high-performance product is included on reference        designs by multiple chipset manufacturers and is being designed into        next-generation smartphones from multiple OEMs.
