Skyworks Solutions has expanded its portfolio of RF switches with a suite of innovative analog control ICs for a variety of Internet of Thing applications including the connected home and smart lighting. These fully integrated switch solutions operate at elevated temperatures, support high data rates and broad frequency ranges, making them ideally suited for embedded smart energy and lighting applications where small form factors are required and ambient temperatures can reach up to 105 degrees Celsius.
The SKY13587-378LF is a pHEMT GaAs FET I/C switch that operates frim 20 MHz to 6 GHz. It can be used in various transmit/receive applications. It has a low insertion loss of 0.35 dB and high isolation of 24 dB at 2.45 GHz with excellent linearity performance. The SKY13588-460LF is a CMOS silicon on insulator single-pole, triple-throw switch that operates from 100 MHz to 6 GHz with high linearity and low insertion loss of 0.45 dB at 2.5 GHz. The device is packaged in a compact quad flat no lead 2 x 2 x 0.55 mm package.
For more than 25 years, Skyworks has invested in the research and development of advanced switching technologies, as well as the underlying wafer fabrication process and operations, customized packaging and test facilities. At the beginning of 2015, Skyworks had more than 165 switching solutions in volume production. Over the last twelve months alone, Skyworks has shipped more than three billion discrete RF switch devices to thousands of customers for more than 100 different end-use applications. The company currently has more than 75 switch products in active development.
