GCS offers a total of four (4) power processes (P1, P2, P5 and P6) for Handset wireless, WLAN, Mobile WiMAX and Infrastructure markets. Our P1 and P2 processes are designed to achieve High Ruggedness and Superior Linearity at the same time. The P5 process featuring 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.
