SWKS Skyworks Solutions Inc

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile connectivity, today unveiled the industry�s highest isolation switch with the lowest loss system performance available for the cellular infrastructure market � the first in a series of forthcoming solutions. Targeted at OEMs building high performance, multi-channel systems, the SKY13286-359LF is ideal for base station applications where synthesizer isolation is critical, minimizing the blending of one frequency into the circuitry of another. The company�s high isolation switches, which integrate silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) drivers, also require fewer components, saving critical board space and allowing for enhanced architectures and lower overall system costs. In addition, with excellent output-to-output isolation, OEMs have greater flexibility for multiple system designs. �Skyworks� high isolation switch is pushing the performance envelope. By leveraging key pHEMT process technologies, our solution gives designers much more freedom in selecting circuit architectures that meet demanding performance requirements for both isolation and insertion loss,� said Stan A. Swearingen, vice president and general manager of Linear Products for Skyworks. �With several design wins and other customer evaluations ongoing, Skyworks is pleased to be providing an innovative switch solution for the rapidly growing cellular infrastructure market.� Skyworks launched its Linear Products portfolio in 2004 to aggressively leverage the company�s core analog capabilities, along with its strong catalog sales and distribution channels, into non-handset applications � with a goal of creating a business characterized by longer product lifecycles, sustained revenue profiles and higher profit margins when compared to handsets. In fiscal 2007, Skyworks plans to introduce over 90 new linear products � continuing to diversify the company�s footprint in various markets including medical, infrastructure, broadband, automotive and industrial, to name just a few. About the SKY13286-359LF Enabled by Skyworks� patent pending sixth-generation pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process, the SKY13286-359LF is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) FET integrated circuit high isolation absorptive switch in a 4 x 4 mm 16-lead QFN with exposed pad plastic package. Other features include single positive voltage control, matched inputs and outputs, and lead-free, restriction of hazardous substances (ROHS)-compliant packaging.
