Skyworks has introduced two double-poles, double-throw (DPDT) high-performance; cost-effective diversity switches in industry standard packaging and footprint.  The SKY13355-374LF is a low-power variant and the SKY13381-374LF is a higher P1 dB version for higher linearity applications (in the same pinout).

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. has introduced two double-poles, double-throw diversity switches for 802.11a, b, g, n applications such as routers and access points. The SKY13352-337LF is ideal for high band applications, while the SKY13353-337LF is for low band. These new switches deliver antenna diversity and offer pin-for-pin compatibility, making them ideal for WLAN infrastructure providers.

Skyworks is pleased to introduce a series of high gain, two stage LNAs employing both GaAs pHEMT and GaAs HBT technology that offer very low noise figure, high linearity and excellent return loss in a small, quad flat, 4 mm squared leadless package.  On-die, active-bias design ensures consistent performance and enables unconditional stability.

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. is pleased to introduce a high-power series PIN diode for large signal transmit and receive switching applications.  This high thermal-dissipative diode combines low insertion loss, very good isolation, fast switching, excellent power handling and low distortion in a very small surface mount package.

Skyworks Solutions Inc. introduces a miniature 0402 abrupt varactor diode for VCO, phase noise, frequency control and voltage tuned filter applications. This small form factor, low profile plastic surface mount technology (SMT) package is ideal for applications requiring low resistance and large capacitance over a narrow 0 to 30 V range in WLAN, CATV LNB, energy management, wireless infrastructure and military markets.

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. introduced the first in a series of ultra low current, general purpose low noise amplifiers (LNAs) 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.

Skyworks is pleased to introduce a hyperabrupt varactor diode with a wide tuning range and low phase noise for VCO and voltage tuned filter applications. This general market diode targets WLAN, CATV LNB, energy management, wireless infrastructure and military applications.

Skyworks & RFMW introduces select digital attenuators. With up to 7-bits and 0.25 dB step accuracy, these select digital attenuators operate up to 4 GHz for both RF and IF applications. All attenuators are absorptive in 50 ohm environments and easily cascadable – impedance matching is not needed between attenuators.

A family of ultra-wideband fixed attenuator pads with a unique through-die via and split ground configuration that provide improved high frequency return loss, attenuation tolerance, flatness, and power handling performance.

Skyworks launches industry’s widest frequency range integrated synthesizers for 3G/4G base stations. Solutions enable expanded capacity to support increasing mobile data traffic. Skyworks introduces the industry’s first suite of high performance broadband synthesizers spanning ultra wide frequency ranges from 375 MHz to 5.6 GHz.
