Offers Compatibility with a Broad Set of Basebands
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 11 -- Micro Linear Corporation (NASDAQ:MLIN), a leading supplier of highly integrated digital wireless transceivers, announced today that samples are available of the Company's new ML1905 advanced Personal Handyphone System (PHS) integrated circuit. The availability of these samples for potential customers is a follow-on to customer evaluation platforms that were demonstrated to PHS handset manufacturers in May 2006.
The ML1905, Micro Linear's second-generation PHS transceiver, is a highly integrated device that combines transmit, receive and synthesizer functionality, and power amplifier, into a single integrated circuit. The ML1905 PHS transceiver is designed to interface with a wide variety of baseband integrated circuits.
"We are pleased to offer the ML1905 to PHS handset manufacturers. As compared to our prior generation of PHS products, the ML1900 and ML1901, the ML1905 offers compatibility with a broader set of basebands, reduces power consumption and improves overall RF performance," stated Tim Richardson, President and Chief Executive Office of Micro Linear. "We continue to believe the expanding PHS market offers an important opportunity for us as handset manufacturers build smaller, more affordable phones with increased functionality and higher performance," he added.
Steve Moore, VP of Sales and Applications at Micro Linear, said, "We currently have multiple potential customers starting projects based on the ML1905 and we are encouraged by their progress to date with these efforts."
