PAs, and RFMD's industry-leading antenna control solutions.

Eric Creviston, president of RFMD's Cellular Products Group, said: "RFMD is rapidly increasing our exposure to the world's leading smartphone manufacturers and extending our position in the high-growth LTE category. We expect to grow our content in the world's leading LTE devices as major new programs are introduced and ramp throughout calendar 2013."

RFMD's highly integrated RF7388 PA covers bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, 18, 19, 20, 26, 27, 33, 35, 37, and 39, and delivers best-in-class efficiency in a multimode multi-band package. It is mated
