LNA designed for wearables, navigation devices, action cameras and other applications

Skyworks has introduced the SKY65623-682LF, a low noise amplifier (LNA) designed for applications such as wearables, asset trackers, navigation devices, action cameras and more. This discrete LNA is optimized to operate from 1559MHz to 1606MHz, has a very low current (1mA @ 1.8V supply) and single power supply (1.5V to 3.6V range) for design flexibility and simplicity. The device’s broad frequency range covers GPS L1, GLONASS, Galileo and Compass navigation systems and it minimizes external components thereby reducing the bill of materials for OEMs. The device comes in an extremely compact form factor (5L QFN 0.8mm x0.8mm package), ideal for low-power IoT devices.
