SKY65728-11

Overview

The SKY65728-11 is a shielded low-noise amplifier front-end module with an integrated pre-filter designed for GPS L5 applications. It operates within the frequency range of 1.164 GHz to 1.189 GHz and delivers a gain of 16 dB. The device features a noise figure of 1.6 dB and a P1dB compression point of -18 dBm. It functions on a supply voltage between 1.1 V and 2.85 V. The component utilizes Silicon technology and is housed in a compact MCM-9 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a pre-filter and low-noise amplifier into a single shielded module
• Optimized performance specifically for GPS L5 band signals
• Provides high linearity and low noise characteristics

Applications

• GPS L5 radio receivers
• Fitness and activity trackers
• Smartphones
• Laptop PCs and tablets

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and revision level against the manufacturer's current documentation before procurement. Confirm that the MCM-9 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly due to moisture sensitivity classification. Cross-reference the datasheet electrical specifications with system requirements to validate compatibility with the intended RF chain design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for the GPS L5 frequency band requiring integrated filtering. Consider the MCM-9 package size constraints for portable devices. Evaluate the 1.6 dB noise figure against system link budget requirements. Verify that the 1.1 V to 2.85 V supply range matches the available power rails in the host application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Skyworks Solutions Inc. family of RF front-end modules.
