Description

Skyworks SKY65137-11 is a Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Power Amplifier (PA) with superior output power, linearity, and efficiency. These features make the SKY65137-11 ideal for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications. The device is fabricated using Skyworks high reliability Indium Gallium Phosphide (InGaP) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) technology. The device is internally matched and mounted in a 20-pin, 6 x 6 mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM) Surface-MountedTechnology (SMT) package, which allows for a highly manufacturable low cost solution. The device package and pinout for the 20-pin MCM are shown in Figure 1. A block diagram of the SKY65137-11 is shown in Figure 2.
