Skyworks has launched the SKY66405-11, a 2.4GHz FEM) designed for Zigbee®, Thread, and Bluetooth® (including Low Energy) ultra-low-power IoT applications spanning beacons, smart meters and thermostats, sensors, wireless cameras, smoke and CO detectors, wearables and medical wearables.
This high-performance, integrated multi-chip module is supplied in a compact form factor (1.9mm x 1.9mm x 0.56mm) and offers increased efficiency as well as more than 4X range extension versus SoC alone. The solution comprises a power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, low-loss bypass path, transmit and receive switches, and digital controls compatible with 1.6V to 3.6V CMOS levels. Its wide supply voltage range also enables the device to be employed in battery-powered IoT applications over a wide spectrum of the battery discharge curve, and it serves worldwide unlicensed bands.
Operating temperature ranges from -40C to 105C, making this module suitable for lighting and industrial applications.
