SKY5A3046

Sky5® Low-Band TX/RX Front-End Module for 3G/4G/5G Applications with Low-Band/High-Band 2G

The SKY5A3046 supports 2G/3G/4G/5G for automotive, telematics, and NAD and operates efficiently in 3G/4G/5G modes.

The device consists of a low-band 3G/4G/5G PA block, low- band and high-band 2G PA blocks, a silicon controller containing the MIPI RFFE interface, RF band switches, antenna switches, a bi-directional coupler, integrated filters for bands B8, B20, and B28a, and LNAs. The SKY5A3046 is optimized for LTE Advanced which utilizes Carrier Aggregation for higher data rates.

The combined filtering, RF matching and T/R switching internal to the FEM optimizes performance for popular Downlink (DL) CA band combinations in a compact and low-cost solution.

The device contains the necessary components between the antenna and RFIC transceiver and is optimized to provide high RX sensitivity and TX efficiency. Extremely low leakage current maximizes device standby time.

Selecting the linear-GMSK operation standard disables VRAMP input, so all PA biasing depends only on MIPI mode selection. The transmitted envelope is then a linear function of RF input.

Selecting VRAMP-enabled operation, the PA controller provides VRAMP control of the GMSK envelope and reduces sensitivity to input drive, temperature, power supply, and process variations.

In EDGE linear mode, VRAMP voltage and MIPI-based bias settings jointly optimize PA linearity and efficiency.

Exceptional RF coexistence planning and system techniques are employed to minimize RX de-sense.

The IC die and passive components are mounted on a multilayer laminate substrate.

The SKY5A3046 is part of our Sky5® product portfolio.
