Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors enabling a broad range of end
markets, today expanded its wireless portfolio with the
introduction of highly integrated front-end modules enabling
802.11ac connectivity in smartphones and tablets. The company’s
precision analog semiconductors are already being utilized in many
of the world’s first commercially-available 802.11ac notebooks,
ultrabooks, LED TVs, routers, USB data cards and Blu-Ray®
players.
IEEE 802.11ac technology allows consumers to download content
substantially faster than equivalent 802.11n solutions and improve
the wireless range. With download speeds of greater than a gigabit
per second, these devices offer consumers the world’s fastest, most
reliable wireless coverage and help address the growing need for a
more robust and efficient wireless network.
“Skyworks is gaining early momentum in meeting the demand for
802.11ac solutions, particularly in the high growth smartphone and
tablet markets,” said Peter Gammel, vice president and general
manager of mobile connectivity at Skyworks. “With several key
reference design wins in place, we are pleased that our highly
integrated products are delivering the exceptional performance our
customers expect and in turn allowing consumers to enjoy some of
the fastest download speeds across multiple mobile platforms.”
According to ABI Research all major smartphone makers are
planning to include WiFi functionality in their platforms, with
many carriers adding the standard for its ability to support large
files for movies and songs. Currently 44 percent of smartphones
have WiFi capability with the number expected to increase to 90
percent by 2014. ABI also predicted that the number of WiFi-enabled
traditional mobile phones shipped would reach 520 million units by
2014, up from 141 million shipments in 2009.
About Skyworks’ 802.11ac Front-end Modules
SKY85302-11 is a complete 802.11 wireless local area network
(WLAN), radio frequency (RF) front-end module (FEM) with a
Bluetooth® port. The device provides all the functionality of a
fully matched power amplifier (PA), power detector, harmonic
filter, low-noise amplifier (LNA) and single-pole, triple-throw
switch. This functionality provides a complete 2.4 gigahertz (GHz),
256 quadrature amplitude modulation WLAN RF solution from the
output of the transceiver to the antenna, and from the antenna to
the input of the transceiver. The LNA increases the receive (Rx)
sensitivity of embedded solutions to improve range. The SKY85302-11
also includes a transmit (Tx) power detector with 20 dB of dynamic
range, and a digital enable control for Tx on/off control. The
device is provided in an ultra compact, 16-pin, 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.45
millimeter (mm), quad-flat-no-lead package (QFN).
SKY85702-11 is a highly integrated, 5 GHz, 802.11ac FEM
incorporating a single-pole, double throw (Tx/Rx) switch, and a PA
intended for mobile 802.11ac applications and systems. The device
operates from a single supply voltage of 3.6V. An integrated power
detector with 20 dB of dynamic range is included to provide
closed-loop power control within the system. It is provided in a
compact, 16-pin, 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.45 mm QFN package.
Both FEMs feature direct from battery operation – removing the
need for a low drop out regulator and associated components.
Skyworks at Mobile World Congress
Skyworks will be showcasing its product portfolio in Hall 6,
Booth E24 (6E24) at Mobile World Congress being held February 25 –
28, 2013.
