SKY85614-11

Overview

The SKY85614-11 is an integrated single-pole double-throw (SPDT) RF switch with a low-noise amplifier (LNA), designed for 5GHz wireless applications. It operates within the 4.9 GHz to 5.9 GHz frequency range, supporting standards such as 802.11a/n and ISM bands. The device features high receive gain and includes an LNA to enhance signal integrity in front-end modules. Packaged in a compact QFN-16 (16-pin Quad Flat No-leads) surface-mount package measuring 2.3x2.3 mm, it utilizes silicon technology. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 6 dB and operation across a temperature range suitable for standard commercial environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an SPDT switch with a low-noise amplifier for enhanced receive performance
• Optimized for 5GHz WLAN and ISM band wireless applications
• Compact QFN-16 surface-mount package design

Applications

• 5GHz Wireless LAN (WLAN) front-end modules
• 802.11a/n compliant communication devices
• ISM band wireless transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Skyworks Solutions distributors or official channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's datasheet before integration. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity levels specified in the packaging data sheet to maintain reliability during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring integrated switching and amplification in the 5GHz spectrum. Consider the QFN-16 footprint constraints and thermal dissipation requirements associated with the small form factor. Evaluate system noise figure contributions against the integrated LNA specifications to ensure overall receiver sensitivity targets are met.

Part Context

Part of the Skyworks SKY85614 series focusing on 5GHz front-end solutions. This specific model combines switching and amplification functions, differing from standalone switches like the SKY85601-11 which lacks an integrated LNA. It serves as a specialized solution for compact wireless module architectures requiring high RX gain.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult Skyworks Solutions directly for current availability and potential obsolescence notifications regarding this active component.
