In the company’s news yesterday,

RF Micro Devices was recently recognized in Compound Semiconductor magazine, which featured the company’s PowerSmart(TM) power platform (RFRD6460) as the compound semiconductor industry’s most innovative device of 2011.

“Compound Semiconductor is proud of the CS Industry Awards and the overwhelming response from the compound semiconductor industry,” Richard Stevenson, editor for Compound Semiconductor stated in the press release. “We feel it is important to highlight the technological achievements within the industry, such as RFMD’s PowerSmart.
