Skyworks Introduces Low-Noise, General-Purpose Amplifier

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. has introduced a new low-noise amplifier (LNA) that operates in the 250 megahertz (MHz) to 6 gigahertz (GHz) range – the SKY65038-70LF.

The SKY65038 is a general purpose, broadband amplifier fabricated from Skyworks' pHEMT process and packaged in a miniature SOT-89 package. The amplifier's low noise figure of 2 dB and high output IP3 of 40 dBm at 1.0 GHz allows these devices to be used in various transmit/receive applications. In addition, the amplifier's output impedance is 50 O, which enables these devices to be easily cascaded with a simple input impedance matching network.

The SKY65038 is lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. It also contains no antimony or halogens such as bromine. A populated evaluation board is available upon request.
