Semiconductor Company Falcomm Raises $4M in Seed Funding to Advance Ultra-Efficient Power Amplifiers, Hires Industry Leaders
Falcomm is built on breakthroughs made over six years in the lab of founder and CEO Edgar Garay to revolutionize the power amplifier, a semiconductor found in devices from satellites to IoT to cellphones, that conditions and blasts the 1s and 0s from software through an antenna. Falcomm’s Dual-Drive PA combines ultra-efficient performance with an architecture that lends itself to production at scale.

Power amplifier startup Falcomm to close $4M, taking on Qualcomm and Broadcom
Falcomm, a semiconductor startup based out of Atlanta, Georgia, is working on a new type of power amplifier to cut energy consumption in hardware ranging from Wi-Fi networks and satellites to consumer products like smartphones and IoTs. The power amplifier, in the words of Edgar Garay, co-founder and CEO of Falcomm, is “the device that goes before the antenna in a radio” and is “responsible for conditioning and blasting the signal through the antenna.”

The Dual-Drive Power Amplifier: The Next Frontier in Power Amplification
The first generation 30 GHz Dual-Drive™ power amplifier (PA) using a 45 nm silicon on insulator (SOI) process achieves 50 percent power-added efficiency (PAE) for a two-stage proof-of-concept, which is the highest efficiency ever achieved for a two-stage PA at 30 GHz on CMOS.
