The SKY66431-11 from Skyworks is a Multi-Band Multi-Chip System-in Package (SiP) for 5G Massive IoT (LTE-M/NB-IoT) platforms. It integrates the entire RF front end, transceiver, power management, crystals, memory, MCU, and baseband modem for an LTE multi-band radio. This SiP has been optimized for LTE-M/NB-IoT half-duplex operation (HD-FDD). It can deliver a downlink data rate of up to 300 Kbps (LTE-M) and an uplink data rate of up to 1.1 Mbps (LTE-M).
The SiP is compliant with 3GPP Rel-14 specifications which can be upgraded to 3GPP Rel-15 & 16. It is based on Andes D15 Core fully integrated application MCU. The module has an embedded low-power GNSS solution that eliminates the need for an external GNSS chipset for intermittent tracking. It requires a DC supply from 2.8 to 5.5 V and has an extremely low leakage internal PMU that enables operability for 20 years.
The SKY66431-11 is available in a BGA package that measures 8.80 x 11.30 x 1.59 mm and is ideal for personal/pet tracking, eBike tracking, industrial asset tracking, smart metering, wearable medical devices, security/alarm systems, fleet management, industrial monitoring devices, and low-power IoT device applications.
