TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, announces its financial results for the quarter ended September 27, 2014, including the following highlights: 

GLOBALFOUNDRIES plans to acquire IBM's global commercial semiconductor technology business, including intellectual property, world-class technologists and technologies related to IBM Microelectronics, subject to completion of applicable regulatory reviews. 

 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc., a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, today announced at EuMW 2014 inRome, Italy, its MAMX-011023 low noise active mixer is available for sampling immediately. The highly anticipated market arrival of the 4-23 GHz MAMX-011023 discrete mixer gives system designers unrivaled flexibility to target a wide range of applications with a single mixer component.  

 Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, announces the UltraCMOS® PE42722, a high-linearity RF switch that enables a dual upstream/downstream band architecture in cable customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. By using a dual-band architecture, multi-service operators (MSOs) have the flexibility to offer their customers new and expanded services while CPEs can comply with the new DOCSIS 3.1 cable industry standard. 

 RFMD, a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency solutions, unveiled 11 new amplifiers of which six are gallium nitride-(GaN) based products to support the requirements of the new data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) 3.1.  

 RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a pair of 5 GHz power amplifiers designed for 802.11a/n/ac WLAN applications. TriQuint’s TQP5523 and TQP5525are fully integrated modules with internal matching on both input and output ports.  

 Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, announces the expansion of its integrated product portfolio into DC and X-Band frequencies - a True DC switch and an X-Band core chip.  

 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), announced a new portfolio of surface mount S-Band GaN power products optimized for commercial air traffic control, weather radar and military radar applications. The new products are available in a range of packaging options and power levels. 

 Cree, Inc., a leading global supplier of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) wafers and devices, has developed a family of 50 V discrete GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) die for operation up to 6 GHz.  

 ANADIGICS, Inc. a world leader in radio frequency (RF) solutions, has introduced a new reverse path amplifier optimized for data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) system standard version 3.1.
