Analog insider says 3G power still a challenge By Peter Clarke, EE Times Aug 10, 2000 (2:59 PM) URL: eetimes.com LONDON — Dialog Semiconductor plc, which has begun supplying Ericsson Mobile Communications AB with mixed-signal ASICs for Ericsson's third-generation (3G) mobile communication terminals, has discovered that the power-related requirements of those devices may create road blocks to their rapid deployment. Following the delivery of its first evaluation devices to Ericsson, Dialog's (Stuttgart, Germany) chief executive Roland Pudelko said that early 3G cellular terminals could have problems meeting their targets of low power consumption and long battery life. Pudelko's observation echoes those of other industry watchers concerned about power requirements. Pudelko said these problems are being encountered despite the efficiencies enabled by power-management circuits that can control how ICs are switched into power-saving modes. Low-power 3G handsets are "a challenge for engineering," said Pudelko. "In 3G, power consumption is tremendously increased, but customers will expect to have equipment with the same size, weight and battery life. We are having extreme minimum requirements placed upon us," he added. Snip<> Jim
