To support this new opportunity, Skyworks is pleased to offer solutions for a wide variety of automotive and transportation infrastructure systems. Skyworks’ portfolio includes AEC-Q101 qualified1 products ideal for infotainment, remote keyless entry, telematics / cellular, garage door opener, toll tag transponder, vehicle tracking, navigation, collision avoidance and radar applications.

 

PIN Diodes

PIN diodes are ideal building blocks for many forms of RF switching — from single-pole,single-throw to multi-throw switches.

 

Our offering includes:

• Very low capacitance diodes, ideal for high isolation switches commonly used in the classic series-shunt transmit-receive switch topology.

• High power, low-series-resistance PIN diodes used in a shunt configuration for application of up to 100 watts. PIN diodes are also commonly used in pi and tee configurations for low distortion attenuator applications.

 

Schottky Diodes

Schottky diodes are optimal for use in detector and mixer functions performing at frequencies from below 10 MHz to 100 GHz.

 

Our offering includes:

• High, medium, low and zero-biased-detector, barrier-height Schottky junctions with low capacitance and low resistance.

• Mixer diodes in series of ring quad and bridge quad configurations.

 

Varactor Diodes

Varactor diodes are used as electrical tuning elements in voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), voltage-variable analog phase shifters and voltage tuned filters (VTFs).

 

Our offering includes:

• Abrupt junction tuning varactors, useful for low loss, narrow band circuits.

• Hyperabrupt junction varactors, useful for wide bandwidth VCOs and VTFs and wide phase range variable phase shifters.
