Yokohama, Japan (BUSINESS WIRE) - Fujitsu Media Devices has developed the world's smallest SAW duplexers (for bands I, II, IV, V and VIII) for W-CDMA mobile phones and SAW filters for GSM (850, 900, 1800 and 1900) technology, using a hermetic seal structure.

Fujitsu Media Devices has once again taken the lead in contributing to space-saving within mobile phones for RF components by using a hermetic seal structure to develop the world's smallest W-CDMA SAW duplexers and GSM SAW filters.

Product Characteristics 1. The use of a hermetic seal structure has realized the world's smallest size while maintaining MSL1.(1) SAW duplexers bands I, II, IV and VIII 2.5 x 2.0 mm (maximum 0.6 mm height) band V 2.0 x 1.6 mm (maximum 0.5 mm height) SAW filters GSM 850 and 900 1.1 x 0.9 mm GSM 850, 900, dual 1.5 x 1.1 mm ? GSM 1800, 1900, dual 1.5 x 1.1 mm 2. Compatible with interfaces for the currently predominant transceiver ICs.

The SAW duplexers use a 50 ohm unbalanced interface for the antenna and transmitter pins and a 100 ohm balanced interface for the receiver pins.

The SAW filter's input interface is 50 ohm, unbalanced, and the output interface is 150 ohm, balanced.

(1)MSL stands for Moisture Sensitivity Levels and is based on the resistance of semi-conductor packages to humidity and moisture absorbency. A rating of 1 indicates that re-flow soldering can be done without any dry process.
Sample Pricing Product Sample Price Shipment Dates Sales Plan (starting in 1Q of FY2009) SAW Filters USD 5.00 starting July 7th 20 million units/month SAW Duplexers USD 10.00 starting July 7th 10 million units/month Trends in the W-CDMA Mobile Phones Market Research indicates that demand for mobile phones in 2008 will approach 1.3 billion units(2), of which 230 million units(2) are expected to be W-CDMA compatible, nearly all of which will include GSM functionality.
