Skyworks Solutions Inc. has introduced a surface mount limiter diode for receiver protection applications.  The CLA4608-085LF is a low capacitance silicon PIN limiter diode designed for high power applications ranging from 10 MHz to over 6 GHz.  Maximum resistance at 10 mA is 1.2 Ω and maximum capacitance at 38 V is 0.65 pF.

Skyworks Solutions Inc. introduced several new backlight LED drivers supporting next-generation smart phones and tablets.  Skyworks’ family of highly efficient, integrated, multi-channel products are tailored to support display panels ranging in size from 4 to 12 inches, significantly enhancing image quality and resolution while maximizing battery life. 

Skyworks is pleased to unveil three high power SPDT switches for multiple applications. The SKY12207-478LF (0.9 to 4.0 GHz; 50 W), SKY12208-306LF (0.02 to 2.7 GHz; 50 W) and SKY12210-478LF (0.9 to 4.0 GHz; 100 W) deliver transmit/receive and failsafe switching functionality for TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE base stations, as well as land mobile radios and military communication systems.

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for two new single-pole, multi-throw switches. The SKY13414-485LF is a SP4T and the SKY13418-485LF is a SP8T. Both parts cover a broad frequency range of 100 to 3000 MHz and are pin compatible with each other. The SP8T offers 0.65 dB typical insertion loss with >20 dB of isolation while the SP4T provides 0.55 dB insertion loss and >25 dB isolation.

Skyworks has a new 0.02 – 4.0 gigahertz, gallium arsenide based high isolation, single-pole four-throw switch with integrated 50 Ohm terminations in small 3 x 3 millimeter quad flat no-lead plastic surface mount technology package.

Skyworks introduces two new, enhancement mode, low noise amplifiers (LNAs) that offer low noise figure, high linearity, and excellent return loss while drawing very low bias current. The SKY67012-396LF (0.3 – 0.6 GHz) and SKY67013-396LF (0.6 – 1.5 GHz) LNAs are ideal for general purpose industrial, scientific, medical (ISM band), and other high frequency applications.

The surface mountable, low capacitance silicon PIN limiter diodes are designed as shunt connected PIN diodes for high power limiter functions ranging from 10 MHz to over 6 GHz and are ideal for receiver protection applications.The diodes deliver low loss, very low series inductance, and low capacitance.

Skyworks introduces three miniature 0402 varactor diodes for VCO, phase noise and voltage tuned filter applications. The SMV1247-040LF, SMV1248-040LF, and SMV1263-040LF provide small form factor, discrete solutions for a variety of phase and frequency control uses. These miniature, plastic surface mount technology (SMT) diodes have reduced footprints in industry-standard packages.

The SMP1304-085LF is a high power shunt PIN diode for transmit and receive switching applications. The SMP1304-085LF is a discrete solution in a very low thermal resistance package that combines very low insertion loss, good isolation, excellent power handling (40W C/W), and low distortion.

The SKY67012-396LF, SKY67013-396LF, SKY67014-396LF, and SKY67015-396LFare ideal low noise amplifiers for battery powered receivers in applications including wireless metering and security, public safety radio, wireless microphones, and Bluetooth® headsets. The supply voltage is adjustable over a wide 1.8–5 V range and current draw as low as 5 mA.
