Skyworks launches front-end modules for Bluetooth IoT applications
Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has launched the SKY66118-11 and the SKY66407-11, 2.4GHz front-end modules (FEMs) for Bluetooth Internet of Things (IoT) applications including smartwatches, trackers, connected home systems, and wireless and gaming headsets.
The low-power solutions significantly improve range (by more than 2x) compared with standalone system-on-chip (SoC) implementations, and efficiently deliver more power to the antenna, minimizing or potentially eliminating any required antenna matching network.
The FEMs also integrate power amplifier output matching, harmonic filtering, and bypass path switching, enabling flexible and innovative end-product designs for space-constrained IoT applications.
