Please note: SKY65364-21 is being discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.
The Skyworks SKY65364-21 is a high-performance,
transmit/receive (T/R) high-power front-end module. The device
provides a complete T/R chain with T/R switches.
The device transmit chain features +30 dBm output power and a
40 percent power-added efficiency (PAE).
The device receive chain features a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with
a 1.5 dB noise figure (NF) and 15 dB gain. The cascaded NF and
gain, taking into account the 0.5 dB insertion loss
transmit/receive antenna switch, are 2.1 dB and 14.5 dB,
respectively, which makes the SKY65364-21 ideal for medium
power microwave links such as 900 MHz Industrial, Scientific,
and Medical (ISM) band applications.
The module also has a shutdown mode, PA bypass mode, and
LNA bypass mode to minimize power consumption.
The device is mounted in a 28-pin, 6 x 6 mm Multi-Chip Module
(MCM) surface-mount technology (SMT) package, which allows
for a highly manufacturable low-cost solution.
