Skyworks introduces eight low noise, variable gain receive modules for LTE and WCDMA infrastructure applications requiring low noise and high linearity. The SKY65369-11, SKY65370-11, SKY65371-11, SKY65372-11, SKY65373-11, SKY65374-11, SKY65375-11, and SKY65376-11, which are ideal for all wireless infrastructure OEMs and ODMs, are low noise, highly linear VGA modules that operate in the 700 to 2600 MHz range and feature very low return loss.
Skyworks Solutions, through its subsidiary Trans-Tech, Inc., unveils webCRaFT, a Web-based ceramic bandpass filter selection program. Customers can easily search for bandpass filter solutions by defining target performance criteria. Frequencies range from 300 to 5000 MHz and bandwidths from 2 to 25 percent. Filters outside of those boundaries are available upon request.
Skyworks introduces a series of voltage-controlled variable attenuators (VVAs) which are designed to have excellent third order input intercept point and superb dynamic range. The devices cover operation from 1.45 to 5.0 GHz, and have control voltages ranging from 0 to 5.0 V. The SKY12232-21, SKY12233-11, SKY12235-11 and SKY12236-11 are optimized for use as low distortion, analog attenuators – centered at 1.95, 2.60, 3.15, and 3.8 GHz.
Skyworks introduces a step-down, DC-DC converter for automotive, distributed power, industrial, and medical applications. The 28 V, 3 A, non-synchronous SKY87608-11-577LF is also applicable for general purpose, point-of-load, 16, 20, and 28 V voltage regulators. The converter offers prime thermal performance and space savings in addition to addressing the green-power initiative in the non-portable markets.
Skyworks introduces a 0.5 to 4.0 GHz low-noise amplifier with an active bias, offering excellent return loss, low noise, and high linearity performance for applications including high performance wireless infrastructure, L and S band military radio, SDAR, DBS set-top box, and GPS. The SKY67103-396LF features internal active bias circuitry. The device also offers the ability to externally adjust supply current and gain.
Skyworks Solutions Inc. introduces a hyperabrupt junction tuning varactor diode for automotive, consumer, defense and infrastructure markets. The SMV1275-079LF offers high capacitance ratio and low series resistance, ideal for low phase noise, UHF and VHF voltage-controlled oscillators, voltage-tuned phase shifters, tunable bandpass filters and microwave tuners.
Skyworks Solutions Inc. unveils a single control, SOI, single-pole-double-throw switch. The compact, 0.01 to 6.0 GHz SKY13453-385LF is intended for mode switching in pre-power amplifier cellular and dual-band WLAN transmit/receive applications. It is a reflective short switch that offers high linearity, maintains low insertion loss and achieves high isolation for both switching paths. 
Skyworks Solutions Inc. unveils an integrated, single-stage, low-cost PIN diode limiter module to address the growing need for full receiver low-noise amplifier protection in microwave applications. The SKY16601-555LF is a low threshold/insertion loss/distortion module in a surface-mount package meant for use as a passive receiver protector in wireless or other RF systems for frequencies up to 6 GHz. 
Flip chip is a type of surface mountable packaging technology that reduces footprint and thickness (compared to conventional packaging), weighs less, is easy to assemble, lowers production costs and improves electrical and thermal performance. Their significant size and weight reduction makes them ideal for use in a variety of mobile devices.
Skyworks Solutions Inc. introduces a highly integrated 5 GHz WLAN front-end module for reference designs targeting smartphones and tablets in a 2.5 x 2.5 mm, QFN package. The SKY85702-11 incorporates a power amplifier and a SPDT transmit and receive switch for mobile/portable 802.11ac applications and systems.
