The SKY12207-478LF, SKY12208-306LF and SKY12210-478LF are high power SPDT silicon-based PIN diode switches. The 4 x 4 millimeter, 16-pin quad flat no lead packaged devices features low insertion loss, high isolation, excellent power handling (50 and 100 Watts) and superb linearity with low direct current (DC) power consumption.

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.

Skyworks Solutions has introduced its first commercialized switch designed to provide simple switching between RF filters with differential inputs. The SKY13354-368LF is a dual-crossed SP2T solution that provides low-loss, higher-isolation, and fast-switching capabilities.

Skyworks introduces three new surface mount limiter diodes for receiver protection 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.

Skyworks Solutions Inc. announced that several of its front-end solutions are being leveraged by the industry’s leading baseband providers for their smartphone platforms currently supporting all of the world's leading mobile broadband standards. Several of Skyworks’ newest power amplifiers and front-end modules deliver approximately 50 percent power added efficiency with a 30 percent smaller footprint.

Skyworks Solutions has introduced three low-noise and high-linearity LNAs for 1.6 to 3.0 GHz receiver applications. The SKY67002-396LF, SKY67003-396LF and SKY67102-396LF are single-stage, GaAs pHEMT LNAs that offer ultra low noise figure, high linearity and excellent return loss in a small QFN package.

Skyworks Solutions has introduced a high power series PIN diode for transmit and receive switching applications. The SMP1325-087LF is a discrete solution available in a high-thermal dissipative package – making it ideal for large signal switching and attenuation applications.

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. has introduced a family of high power 50 Ohm terminated, single-pole, double throw switches. The small-package SKY13348-374LF and SKY13370-374LF are ideal for high power access points and router applications.

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. has introduced two small (1 x 1 mm packaged) GaAs single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches for WLAN applications. The SKY13366-378LF (2.0-6.0 GHz) and the SKY13350-385LF (0.8-6.0 GHz) switches target low power WLAN consumer premise device equipment.

Skyworks Solutions has introduced a new single stage GaAs PHEMT LNA that offers low noise figure (0.60 dB), very high linearity (23 dBm IIP3), and excellent return loss (14 dB) in a small 2 x 2 mm DFN package.  On-die active bias design ensures consistent performance and enables unconditional stability.
