Skyworks Ramping Production of High Performance Receive Downconverters
for Several Top-Tier Infrastructure OEMs
Portfolio Supporting GSM / WCDMA / WiMAX and LTE Applications
 
WOBURN, Mass., Oct. 15, 2007 – Skyworks Solutions,
Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog and mixed
signal semiconductors enabling mobile connectivity, today announced
that several of its single channel and diversity downconverters, including
the SKY73032 and the SKY73021, have reached volume production with the
industry’s leading infrastructure OEMs. Skyworks’ highly integrated
solutions, which are a part of its rapidly growing Linear Products portfolio,
support GSM/EDGE, CDMA, WCDMA, WiMAX, and Long Term Evolution (LTE)
applications, offer a wide range of RF frequencies, and leverage the
same innovative transceiver technology Skyworks has developed for handsets.
“After capturing multiple design wins, we are delighted to have reached
volume production with several of our products,” said Stan Swearingen,
Skyworks’ vice president and general manager of Linear Products. “Our
expansive portfolio supports infrastructure OEMs at any stage, from
those implementing system upgrades to those developing next-generation
designs, essentially providing customers with the ability to meet all
their high performance downconverter needs with one supplier.” Growth
in the wireless infrastructure market is expected to be fueled by capital
expenditures for emerging regions and the build out of 3G networks required
to handle the migration to WCDMA, where handsets and base stations must
process voice and data simultaneously.
According to CIBC estimates,
capital expenditures for 3G alone are anticipated to be over $23 billion
in 2008, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 17 percent
from 2006. The company's expanded infrastructure portfolio includes
high-performance receiver front-ends, down-converters, linear power
amplifiers and drivers, as well as all of the necessary RF microwave
discrete and passive components. Each component covers a wide range
of frequencies, also making them ideal for satellite transceivers, wireless
routers, wireless local loop, image storage modules, telemetry, RF identification
(RFID), and other global wireless applications. Today, Skyworks is in
volume production with the following downconverters, having shipped
over one million units since their introduction a year ago:
- SKY73020: a 700-1000 MHz diversity mixer
- SKY73021: a 1700-2200 MHz diversity mixer
- SKY73022: a 700-1000 MHz high gain diversity mixer
- SKY73023: a 700-2200 MHz high gain diversity mixer
- SKY73025: a 2200-2700 MHz high gain diversity mixer
- SKY73032: a 700-1000 MHz high gain single mixer
- SKY73033: a 1700-2200 MHz high gain single mixer
- SKY73035: a 2200-2700 MHz high gain single mixer

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
