Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (SIMO) ("Silicon Motion"), a global leader in designing and marketing NAND flash controllers for solid state storage devices and specialty RF ICs solutions for mobile devices, today announced that it has successfully completed testing of FC7880, its new LTE-Advanced transceiver, and secured its first smartphone design win with a leading Korean handset OEM. Production is anticipated to begin late in the second quarter of 2014.

　　FC7880, Silicon Motion's new high performance, low power, multi-mode diversity LTE-Advanced (3GPP Release 10) transceiver is the only single chip, SAW-less solution that monolithically integrates four receivers and one transmitter (4x1 MIMO) and is also the smallest LTE-Advanced transceiver available today. This transceiver enables carrier aggregation, covers all 41 prescribed spectrum bands and supports GSM, GPRS, EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, FDD-LTE and TD-LTE.

　　"We are excited about supplying our Korean handset OEM with our first LTE-Advanced transceiver solution and providing our partner with the most advanced transceiver technology in the market today. We look forward to their success and to extending our partnership," said Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion.

　　Silicon Motion has been supplying LTE transceivers under its "FCI" brand since 2010. Innovative FCI CDMA RF ICs were first introduced in 2001.
