Wolfspeed's CEO, Franco Plastina, has stepped down from his role and will leave the company at the end of the fiscal quarter. This follows Cree's termination of Infineon's proposed acquisition of Wolfspeed and decision to retain and operate Wolfspeed as a third business segment.
GLOBALFOUNDRIES announced the availability of its 45nm RF SOI (45RFSOI) technology offering, making GF the first foundry to announce an advanced, 300 mm RF silicon solution to support next generation millimeter-wave (mmWave) beam forming applications in future 5G base stations and smartphones.
Qorvo® announced a portfolio of RF front ends (RFFE) for LTE Power Class 2, also known as high performance user equipment (HPUE). Smartphones that incorporate Qorvo's RFFEs combine the speed and capacity advantages of high-band spectrum with the coverage advantages of mid-band spectrum.
Thales will deliver 14, GaN-based, CWI transmitters that will be integrated into the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) fire control systems on-board Royal Danish Navy vessels.
Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. announced a new development center in Austin, staffed with 13 experienced RFIC developers, to accelerate the development of UltraCMOS® products for mobile applications. The Austin team is led by 25-year industry veteran, David Bockelman, formerly with Broadcom/Avago and Javelin Semiconductor. Peregrine is recruiting additional team members.
MaxLinear released the MxL9105 dual-channel linear coherent transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for 100G/200G dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) coherent systems. The high transimpedance gain is well-suited for metro networks that have greater signal loss, due to the prevalence of older fiber and multiple interconnects. The low input referred noise density and extremely low power consumption make it ideal for the entire range of 32 GBd ICR module designs including type 1, type 2 and the latest micro-ICR.
Unable to address the U.S. government's national security concerns, Cree will retain Wolfspeed and terminate the agreement to sell the power and RF business to Infineon Technologies. Cree's CEO said the company will invest in Wolfspeed to grow the business.
Skyworks Solutions launched its newest SkyOne® front-end solution targeting the high growth China LTE market. The SkyOne Ultra 2.5 family includes both global and region-specific architectures that allow customers to use the same printed circuit board across multiple smartphone platforms designed for diverse end markets.
Integrated Device Technology will acquire GigPeak for $3.08 per share or approximately $250 million in cash. The purchase price is approximately 22 percent higher than the closing price of GigPeak shares on February 10. The deal is expected to close during the second calendar quarter of 2017.
