Motorola Improves RF Transistor Performance for CDMA, GSM and EDGE Infrastructure Equipment

Plastic Packaging, Industry Leading Performance and Cost-Effectiveness
Designed into New 900MHz Transistors

SMART NETWORKS DEVELOPER FORUM, PARIS - June 5, 2003 - The industry's first 100W, 900MHz RF power transistors in plastic packaging are now available from Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT). Expanding its portfolio of industry-leading RF semiconductor solutions for the wireless infrastructure market, Motorola's latest generation of RF power transistors is designed to enhance power capabilities, efficiency and ease-of-use for 900MHz cellular base station power amplifiers applications. Additionally, designers and equipment manufacturers can expect to benefit from manufacturing and system cost savings through higher yields and production margins.

The newest generation 900MHz product portfolio (900G3) leverages the performance advantages of Motorola's fifth generation RF LDMOS (Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Silicon) die technology and offers several key advantages to aid designers in producing world-class amplifiers. Advantages include a 4 to 5 percentage point increase in efficiency over previous generations, higher output power capability, and up to 20 percent improvement in thermal resistance when compared to standard ceramic packaging.

"Motorola is extremely sensitive to the cost reduction requirements being placed on our customers," said Lynelle McKay, vice president and general manager of Motorola's RF & DSP Infrastructure Division. "We continue to expand our RF plastic portfolio to offer exceptional performance, while enabling our customers to benefit from savings in manufacturing and overall system cost reductions."

Examples of the 900G3 family include:

- MRF5S9100M -- The industry's first 100W, 900MHz RF power transistor available in plastic packaging. The MRF5S9100M is designed for CDMA applications, and demonstrates typical performances of 17dB gain, 23W average output power and 30 percent efficiency at -45dBc ACP (adjacent channel power).

- MRF5S9101M -- 100W 900MHz plastic RF power transistor is optimized for GSM and GSM EDGE applications. The device offers typical performance of 17dB gain, 50W output power and 40 percent efficiency under EDGE conditions.

Both devices are available in the newest additions to Motorola's family of high-power RF plastic packages--the TO270 and TO272 wide body. Motorola now offers 900MHz plastic RF power devices with output power levels from 2W to 100W, offering designers more flexibility and cost saving potential.

Pricing and Availability
Samples of the MRF5S9100M, MRF5S9101M and MRF5S9060M (a 60W, 26 volt, 880MHz device offering gains of 18dB and 30 percent efficiency under CDMA conditions) are available now with production quantities expected to be available in Q4 2003. The 100K suggested resale pricing for the advanced 900G3 products is $44.32 for the MRF5S9100M, $42.41 for the MRF5S9101M, and $23.86 for the MRF5S9060M.
