RFMD(R) Surpasses Shipment Milestone With Breakthrough CMOS Power Amplifiers

GREENSBORO, N.C., Aug. 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RFMD (Nasdaq:RFMD), a
global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency
solutions, today announced it has shipped more than one million RF7196D
high-power, high-efficiency CMOS power amplifiers (PAs). The ultra-low cost
RF7196D is RFMD's newest and most innovative CMOS PA, delivering a
revolutionary combination of cost, size and performance. It is in mass
production in support of multiple high-volume 2G and 3G handset platforms, and
