Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile connectivity, today introduced the industry’s smallest and lowest profile packaged silicon radio frequency (RF) Schottky diodes in a 0201 surface mount technology (SMT) footprint.

Skyworks has introduced a new family of general purpose gallium arsenide (GaAs) attenuators with excellent distortion performance for various types of linear applications including UMTS, WCDMA, WiMAX and WLAN. These GaAs digital single-positive-control step attenuators are also designed for base station transmitter and receivers, and can be used in radio frequency identification (RFID) transceivers.

Models SKY77517 and SKY77518 are ultra-compact, dual-band transmit GSM/GPRS front-end modules designed for handsets targeted at emerging markets. Designed in low profile, compact form factor, these highly efficient 6 × 8 × 1.2 mm models offer a complete transmit VCO-to-antenna and antenna-to-receive SAW filter solution.

Skyworks Solutions has developed a new family of two-stage low noise amplifiers (LNA): SKY65048-360LF, SKY65049-360LF and SKY65066-360LF. These amplifiers are fabricated with an advanced Skyworks PHEMT 0.5 µm process and packaged in low cost, miniature QFN 2x2 mm 8-lead plastic packages. Together, the three new products cover a frequency...
