SKY68020-11

Overview

The SKY68020-11 is a hybrid multi-band, multi-chip RF Front-End Module (FEM) designed for IoT applications. It supports LTE-M and NB-IoT half-duplex systems across frequencies of 663 MHz to 915 MHz and 1.695 GHz to 1.98 GHz. The module operates on a supply voltage of 2.85 V to 4.5 V with a quiescent current of 400 nA. It provides 24 dBm output power and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in an MCM-24 package.

Feature Summary

• Supports LTE-M and NB-IoT half-duplex transceiver platforms
• Optimized for resource block configurations from 1 RB to 6 RB
• Integrates multiple chips into a single hybrid module

Applications

• IoT devices requiring LTE-M connectivity
• NB-IoT sensor networks
• Half-duplex cellular communication modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against Skyworks official documentation to confirm pinout and functional variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout for the MCM-24 package. Confirm moisture sensitivity handling requirements during assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure alignment with current design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this module for designs requiring integrated support for both LTE-M and NB-IoT standards. The low quiescent current makes it suitable for battery-constrained IoT applications. Verify that the required frequency bands fall within the specified operational ranges. Consider the thermal performance limits when designing for high ambient temperatures.
