4G (LTE), multi-band transceiver MB86L13A class=”source”> image: Fujitsu <- RSPEAK_START -> since 1! August are around 1,000 former employees of Fujitsu Semiconductor to Flash specialists Spansion [1] : This has already announced in April [2] Transfer of Fujitsu divisions analog semiconductor and microcontroller completed.
In the business worth about 110 million U.S. dollars in 2009 but was a department acquired by Fujitsu is not included, in the last four years, the name of Fujitsu Semiconductor Wireless Products ( FSWP [3] ) wore: This former Motorola and Freescale later segment, Intel bought for an undisclosed price, as FierceWireless reports [4] . The then 120-strong team developed FSWP in Tempe / Arizona transceiver chips around for UMTS and LTE, as the MB86L13A [5] . Similar ensure the Intel 2010 by purchased [6] Infineon’s mobile division, but so far Intel has only the separate LTE modem chip XMM 7160 [7] on the market.
Intel has promised an Atom SoC with integrated LTE function to finally end up in more expensive smartphones. An exact date is not fixed. Whether already an LTE modem is included for 2014 announced Merrifield with Silver Mont-cores is unclear.
currently dominates [8] Qualcomm LTE chips of the market and also leads at the processors for smartphones and tablets. Several manufacturers want to offer ARM SoCs with built-in LTE modem and have been incorporated to smaller developers such as Mediatek or Nvidia. [9] achieves the NOR flash specialist Spansion about a quarter of its sales in Japan and there uses the sales organization from Fujitsu. Spansion emerged from a cooperation [10] between AMD and Fujitsu in 2010 and had its own insolvency [11] overcome. <-! AUTHOR MARKER DATA BEGIN - -> <-! RSPEAK_STOP -> ( ciw [12] )
