GCS offers a total of four
(4) power processes (P2, P3, P5, and P7) for handset wireless, WLAN,
mobile WiMAX and infrastructure markets.
Our P2 process is
designed to achieve high ruggedness and superior linearity at the same
time. The P5 process features unbreakable ruggedness and high power
efficiency at the same time was designed for GSM/EDGE power amplifier
application. Several customers (including IDMs) have reported excellent
VSWR >15:1 with 5V Vcc bias.
GCS also offers two digital processes (D1 and D5), providing high ƒT, very low
phase noise, integrated varactor and Schottky diodes,
ideal for applications such as VCO, tunable filters, and high speed ICs.
