George, what's the significance of this announcement from ATML. SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 1999-- Atmel Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML - news) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Temic Semiconductors, has introduced the first 3-volt Silicon Germanium (SiGe) power amplifier TST0912 for mobile phones based on the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). Using SiGe technology, the power amplifier exhibits the best tradeoff of power, efficiency, size and cost available today. The TST0912 is designed for single-band operation in the 900-MHz frequency range (GSM 900). SiGe technology provides the best price-performance ratio available. The 3-volt operation supplies enable handset designers to utilize single-cell Lithium-Ion or 3-cell Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery technologies for smaller and lighter handsets. Since SiGe does not require negative supply voltage as needed by competing devices using Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) technology, both system and production costs can be reduced. Thanks! Richard
