High linearity Sky5 switch for high-performance aperture tuning

07 October 2020

The SKY59272-707LF single-pole, single-throw (4 x SPST) switch from Skyworks is designed for antenna tuning applications that require ultra-low off capacitance and low on resistance. This device offers excellent performance and ultra-high linearity for smartphone applications operating in the 5G, LTE or GSM band space, where high performance aperture tuning is required.

An integrated mobile industry processor interface logic controller and 4 x SPST topology provides the flexibility Source: SkyworksSource: Skyworksto tune multiple bands on a single antenna, which is optimal for carrier aggregation and dual connectivity. No external DC blocking capacitors are required as long as no DC voltage is applied on any radio frequency.

The quad flat no-lead switch offers a 0.6 to 6.0 GHz operating frequency for low, mid, high and ultra-high bands as well as 5G sub-6 GHz. The ultra-low off-state capacitance minimizes loading and optimizes tuning.

The SKY59272-707LF builds on Skyworks’ portfolio of innovative products for 5G applications in a compact 12-pin, 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.45 mm (typical) design that meets requirements for board-level assembly.
