Skyworks to showcase new lower power LNAs for 1.5 to 3.0 GHz
The LNAs based on its proprietary gallium arsenide pHEMT based process provide cost competitive solutions for wireless applications.
Skyworks Solutions, an innovator of high reliability analogue and mixed signal semiconductors, has introduced the first in a series of ultra low current, general purpose low noise amplifiers (LNAs).
These are suited to for diverse wireless applications including satellite receiver set-top boxes, Bluetooth headsets, medically prescribed hearing aids, advanced meter reading devices and 2.4 GHz wireless local area networks. These high performance LNAs deliver enhanced receiver sensitivity and wide dynamic ranges facilitating improved signal reception, increased design flexibility and reduced part counts.
“Skyworks is delighted to be expanding our product portfolio with solutions that deliver better performance and are cost competitive for a wide range of markets,” said David Stasey, vice president of analogue components at Skyworks. “In addition, our new low noise amplifiers enable Skyworks to enter new markets – driving intense diversification beyond our proven front-end solutions for mobile devices.”
The miniature SKY67014-396LF is an advanced pHEMT enhancement mode process LNA with an integrated active bias and on-die stability structures. It enables simple external matching and stable performance over varied temperatures.
Skyworks’ enhancement mode pHEMT process allows the device to offer excellent return loss (15 dB typical), stable gain (12 db), low noise (
