The Skyworks SKY65383-11 is a high-performance, transmit/receive (T/R) front-end module (FEM). The device provides a transmit power amplifier (PA) capable of transmitting greater than +30 dBm of output power at 36 percent poweradded efficiency (PAE).

The receive chain features a low-loss, single-pole, doublethrow (SPDT) switch and a high-performance low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a 2.5 dB noise figure (NF) and 12 dB receive gain.

All functionality can be controlled using a three-wire interface. The SKY65383-11 can be placed in a deep “sleep” mode, which draws less than 1 μA of current.

The device is mounted in a 28-pin, 6 x 6 mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM) package, which allows for a highly manufacturable lowcost solution.
