Skyworks SKY65183-11 is a high dynamic range transmit Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) Front-End Module (FEM) for Long- Term Evolution (LTE) and other applications that operate in the 2400 to 2700 MHz band.The SKY65183-11 contains a Digital Step Attenuator (DSA) and two Power Amplifiers (PAs). The DSA is a 6-bit attenuator with an 0.5 dB step size that provides 31.5 dB of total attenuation. The DSA is controlled using an on-chip Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) logic circuit.The two PAs enable high gain (40 dB) and high linearity (+40 dBm) at minimum attenuator settings.The SKY65183-11 is provided in a 28-pin, 6 x 6 mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM) package, which allows for a highly manufacturable low cost solution.
