PRODUCT SUMMARY
SKY78011-21 SkyOne™ Multiband Multimode Front-End
Module for Quad-Band GSM / GPRS / EDGE – Penta-Band
(Bands I, II, III, V, VIII) WCDMA / HSPA / HSPA+ / LTE
Applications
Description
The SKY78011-21 SkyOne™ is a hybrid, multimode, multiband
Front-End Module (FEM) that supports 2.5G and 3G / 4G handsets
and operates efficiently in GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, and
LTE modes. The FEM consists of a GSM800/EGSM900 PA block, a
DCS1800/PCS1900 PA block, separate WCDMA blocks operating
in the low and high bands, a logic control block for multiple power
control levels, and band enable functions in both cellular and
UMTS. RF I/O ports are internally matched to 50 Ω to minimize
the number of external components. Extremely low leakage
current maximizes handset standby time. The InGaP/GaAs die and
passive components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate
substrate and the assembly encapsulated in plastic overmold.
• Quad-band cellular handsets:
- Class 4 GSM850 / EGSM900
- Class 1 DCS1800 / PCS1900
- Class E2 GSM850 / EGSM900 / DCS1800 / PCS1900
- Class 12 multi-slot EGPRS
• Multiband 3G handsets
• WCDMA / HSPA / HSPA+ / LTE-modulated handsets for bands
I, II, III, V, VIII
Features
• Hybrid architecture: separate GSM, WCDMA paths
• 50 Ω I/O impedances, integrated DC blocking on all ports
• Separate single-ended GSM and WCDMA inputs and outputs
• Integrated coupler with coupled port for 3G/4G band operation
• Integrated 2.5G DCS/PCS Rx filter
GSM / EDGE: The SKY78011-21 uses a new compact
architecture supporting the GSM850, EGSM900, DCS1800 and
PCS1900 bands. The FEM also supports 2.5G Class 12 Enhanced
General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS) multi-slot operation and
EDGE linear modulation.
WCDMA: The SKY78011-21 uses an enhanced architecture to:
support WCDMA/High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)
and High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) modulations;
cover multiple bands for 3GPP, including bands I, II, III, V, and VIII;
operate at different power modes. The module is fully controllable
via four logic lines and band-enable interfaces.
• CMOS-compatible four-line logic input plus HB/LB enable
• VCC stages for 2.5G / 3G can attach to battery or buck DC/DC
• Small, low profile package:
- 7 mm x 9.8 mm x 1.05 mm
- 60-pad configuration
LTE: The SKY78011-21 meets spectral linearity requirements of
LTE modulation with QPSK/16QAM up to 20 MHz bandwidth,
including various resource block allocations, with good power-
added efficiency.
• 2.5G features:
- EGPRS Class 12 multi-slot operation
- Two RF POUT control levels using digital logic interface
- Linear PA with bias optimization for efficiency/linearity trade-
off in 8PSK mode
Receiver Section: The SKY78011-21 has integrated Duplexers,
RX SAWs and SP12T SOI switch to provide 2G / 3G / 4G Rx paths
from antenna to LNA port of RFIC. Optimized “Rx paths and
matching circuits” with well-grounded guard trace (high Tx–Rx
isolation) inside module mitigate de-sense problem and enhance
sensitivity performance.
• 3G features:
- WCDMA mode supports output power, bandwidth for bands
I, II, III, V, VIII through integrated select switch
- Two RF POUT control levels using digital logic interface
- Linear amplifiers with bias optimization and low/high mode
gain switch for best efficiency/linearity tradeoff
TRx Port: The SKY78011-21 provides three vacant broadband
TRx ports for additional band requirements.
• 4G features:
- LTE supports output power, bandwidth bands I, II, III, V, VIII
- Bands I, II, III up to 20 MHz bandwidth
- Bands V, VIII up to 10 MHz bandwidth
