Skyworks has unveiled a suite of 75 ohm low noise amplifiers and high performance switches supporting higher data rates across broadband networking platforms in the connected home. As more devices become connected within the home, consumers are demanding reliable, high-speed, wide area network connections to carry data, voice, video and multimedia content simultaneously. The new amplifier support DOCSIS 3.1 standards, which enable speeds of 1 Gbps on existing hybrid fiber coaxial networks and up to 10 Gbps on next generation systems. According to a recent news article, as of March 2015, the top ten states in the U.S. with the highest networks speeds averaged internet speeds of just over 40 Mbps. These speeds are expected to double by 2019. Also, global fixed broadband speeds are expected to reach 42.5 Mbps by 2019, up from 20.3 Mbps in 2014. Skyworks’ suite of solutions is enabling devices that support these higher data rate speeds.
This new range of Low Noise Amplifiers meets these demanding requirements. By partnering with OEMs, Skyworks is able to offer consumers some of the world's fastest networking speeds and Wi-Fi connections within the connected home and across the Internet of Things, enhancing the user experience.
The New Broadband Networking Solutions:
SKY65450-92LF – is a MMIC front-end, low-noise amplifier with bypass mode designed especially for set-top box and home gateway applications. The device, which is optimized to operate between 40 MHz and 1 GHz, provides high linearity, excellent gain, and best in class composite triple beat and composite second order. It is fabricated using SiGe BiCMOS technology and manufactured in a 6-pin, SC-70 SMT package.
SKY65452-92LF – is a MMIC front-end, low noise amplifier designed for set-top box and home gateway applications. The device, which is optimized to operate between 40 MHz and 1 GHz, provides high linearity, excellent gain, and best in class composite triple beat and composite second order. It is fabricated using SiGe BiCMOS technology and manufactured in a 6-pin, SC-70 SMT package.
SKY13547-490LF – is a single-pole, double-throw 75 Ω switch. Its high linearity and low insertion loss meet the most stringent requirements of DOCSIS 3.1 applications. The switch is a “reflective short” on the isolated port and provided in a compact 2 x 2 mm, 12-pin QFN package.
SKY13548-385LF – is a single-pole, double-throw 75 Ω switch intended for mode switching in either pre-select filter or post-select filter in set-top boxes and cable modem applications. Using advanced switching technologies, the SKY13548-385LF maintains low insertion loss and high isolation for all switching paths. It is manufactured in a compact 1 x 1 mm, 6-pin QFN package.
