Description
The SKY65550-11 is a highly-integrated, 5 GHz Front-End Module
(FEM) incorporating a 5 GHz Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT)
transmit/receive (T/R) switch and a 5 GHz Power Amplifier (PA)
intended for mobile/portable 802.11a applications and systems.
The device operates from a single supply voltage of 3.6 V typical
and draws approximately 185 mA of current.
A digital enable function is included that allows power savings
during off mode. To ensure compatibility with digital control logic
levels provided by the system, the SKY65550-11 supports 1.8 V
logic levels for both enable and switch control functions. An
integrated power detector is included to provide closed-loop
power control within the system.
The SKY65550-11 enables extremely small form factor
applications and requires only two external SMT components.
The device is provided as a compact, 10-pin 3 x 3 mm MCM. A
functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin
configuration and package are shown in Figure 2.
