The SKY65535-11 is a 5 GHz Front-End Module (FEM) for wireless connectivity, Bluetooth®, 802.11n and mobile applications. The FEM integrates a 5 GHz Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a 5 GHz Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) with bypass, and a 5 GHz Power Amplifier (PA). The device operates from a single supply voltage of 3.6 V and draws approximately 175 mA of current at +17.5 dBm of linear output power at the ANT port (pin 13) with a 64 QAM, 54 Mbps signal. An enable/disable function is included that allows power savings during off mode. An integrated power detector with 20 dB of dynamic range is included to provide closed-loop power control within the system. The FEM is available in a 16-pin, 2.5 x 2.5 mm, QFN package.
