The SKY5A2105 is a highly integrated, 5.9 GHz front-end
module (FEM) incorporating a 5.9 GHz single-pole, quad
throw (SP4T) switch, low-noise amplifier (LNA), power
amplifier (PA), a band-pass BAW filter (BPF), and a digital
step attenuator (DSA) for C-V2X LTE and 5G NR applications
and systems.
A BAW bypass state and high gain state in RX and TX mode
extends dynamic range in compensator mode. LNA and PA
functions are disabled in off mode to insure low leakage current.
An integrated logarithmic power detector is included to provide closed-loop power control over more than 25 dB
dynamic range.
In addition, the front-end module offers a temperature sensor function to allow system implementation of reliability or
safety algorithms.
A MODE control pin supports either compensator or
ECU mode:
In compensator mode, a digital SPI interface controls the
DSA from 0 dB to 31.75 dB in 0.25 dB steps.
In ECU mode, a GPIO interface controls the DSA from 0 dB to
31.75 dB in 5 dB steps.
GPIO control pins enable fast switching in both compensator mode and ECU mode.
The device is housed in a compact 24-pin 3 x 5 mm Land
Grid Array (LGA) package which may reduce the front-end
board space by more than 50 percent.
