Skyworks SKY66430-11 Front End Module for 5G IoT - RF Cafe

September 29, 2020 - Irvine, California - Through our flagship SKY66430-11, Skyworks is powering new devices in the rapidly emerging 5G Massive Internet of Things (IoT) market. SKY66430-11 is the world's smallest, fully pre-certified all-in-one system-in-package (SiP) incorporating cellular modem, transceiver, RF front-end, memory and power management functionality, enabling LTE-M and NB-IoT connected devices. This turnkey solution integrates Sequans' Monarch SoC platform to support a wide range of low power, low data rate consumer and industrial IoT applications including asset tracking, industrial monitoring, smart metering, wearables and more.

Receive low-pass filters are integrated into the SiP along with the necessary matching to yield a 50 ohm single-ended impedance for the antenna. The filters provide a high level of rejection to out-of-band interferers, protecting the transceiver from high blocking signal levels and guaranteeing 3GPP LTE blocking test conformance. The RX low-pass filters are cascaded with the low throw count switch to establish a lower insertion loss and noise figure than conventional LTE receiver designs.

The PA load-line is optimized for high efficiency while simultaneously meeting 3GPP ACLR and emissions mask specifications with LTE up to 6 RB. An integrated LPF is implemented to reject the PA and transceiver harmonics while at the same time minimizing any post PA loss for an optimized transmit current consumption.
