The device’s transmit chain features +30 dBm output and the receive chain features a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a 1.3 dB noise figure. The module delivers 30.5 dBm Pout at 400-500 MHz to enable more than four times the range versus standalone system-on-chip solutions and covers multiple unlicensed bands. It also has a fast switch on/off (<4 usec in receive mode and <2 usec in transmit mode) that provides rapid timing and multi-protocol arbitration. The module also boasts a high-efficiency power amplifier for longer battery life and comes in a small footprint with MCM (28-pin 6.0 x 6.0 mm) surface mount technology packaging.
The SKY66119-11 FEM has been designed into reference designs with products from Silicon Labs (Si446x) and Texas Instruments (CC112x). Combined with our partners’ platforms, the SKY66119-11 meets today’s demand for long-range, low-power and cost-effective solutions.
