The SKY85716-11 from Skyworks is a highly integrated front-end module (FEM) for 5 GHz 802.11n/ac applications. It can be used in WiFi-enabled handsets, tablets, and mobile/portable systems and System-in-Package (SIP) modules for embedded applications. The module consists of a SPDT switch, transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a low-noise amplifier with bypass, and a power amplifier. It has an integrated positive slope logarithmic power detector and its output reverts to high impedance when not in use. This FEM is available in a 16-pin Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package that measures 2.3 x 2.3 x 0.33 mm.
