"Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a global leader in analog, mixed signal and digital semiconductors for mobile communications applications, today announced that its lead (Pb)-free and environmentally friendly product portfolio is now available through the company's Green Initiatives(TM) program, facilitating customers' abilities to meet the various environmental regulations and provide Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant devices well ahead of the deadline. The RoHS directive is targeted at removing six dangerous substances from all electronic products shipped into Europe by July 2006. Skyworks has offered lead-free, RoHS-compliant and other ecological features in many of its products for several years, having begun the migration to a complete lead-free product line back in 2003."
