SKY65131: WLAN Power Amplifier Module
Applications
Description
The Skyworks SKY65131 is a Microwave Monolithic Integrated
Circuit (MMIC) Power Amplifier (PA) with superior output power,
linearity, and efficiency. These features make the SKY65131 ideal
for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications.
• IEEE802.11 b/g WLAN
• ISM band transmitters
• WCS fixed wireless
• Wireless access nodes
The device is fabricated using Skyworks high reliability Indium
Gallium Phosphide (InGaP) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
technology. The device is internally matched and mounted in a
4 x 4 mm, Multi-Chip Module (MCM) Surface-Mounted
Technology (SMT) package, which allows for a highly
manufacturable low cost solution.
Features
• Single 3.3 V supply
• Linear output power of +28 dBm for IEEE802.11b mask
• Linear output power of +26 dBm for IEEE802.11g mask
• High PAE of 38 percent
The device package and pinout are shown in Figure 1. A block
diagram of the SKY65131 is shown in Figure 2.
• Output power detector: 20 dB dynamic range
• Superior gain flatness
• Internal RF match and bias circuits
• Small MCM (16-pin, 4 x 4 mm), Pb-free SMT package (MSL3,
250 °C per JEDEC J-STD-020)
