Skyworks keeps it quiet with latest amplifiers
Next-Generation Ultra Low-Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) will meet demanding noise and linearity requirements for multiple wireless infrastructure applications.
Skyworks has introduced two low noise amplifiers (LNAs) for multiple cellular infrastructure receiver applications including GSM, CDMA, WCDMA and LTE base stations and repeaters.
The new monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifiers allow infrastructure providers to meet a wide range of performance requirements with a single device that minimizes system noise figures with improved receiver sensitivity and stability.
"Skyworks is pleased to be expanding our infrastructure product portfolio particularly as estimates for mobile data traffic are expected to double every year through 2014," said David Stasey, VP of ‘Analog Components’ at Skyworks. "These solutions are just one of several devices that help reduce the size and complexity of networking equipment while enabling greater reliability, capacity and efficiency", he added.
The SKY67100-396LF (1.7 - 2.0 GHz) and the SKY67101-396LF (0.7 - 1.0 GHz) are gallium arsenide (GaAs) enhancement mode pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) LNAs designed for low noise figure down to 0.49 dB while providing unconditional stability and high-linearity performance up to OIP3 of 34 dBm.
The addition of an internal active bias circuitry provides stable performance over temperature. These new LNAs are available in a small, low-cost, industry-standard 2 x 2 x 0.75 millimeter (mm), 8 pin, dual flat no-lead (DFN) package and are layout compatible with each using a reduced -component matching network.
These solutions are available now and pricing information is available by contacting sales@skyworksinc.com .
