Skyworks launches high-reliability hermetically sealed, broadband low-noise and impedance-matched amplifiers for military and space applications

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has unveiled its latest high-reliability solutions for demanding military and space applications with stringent operating requirements.

Skyworks’ hermetically sealed, broadband low-noise and impedance-matched amplifiers function in harsh environments and can be leveraged in a multitude of communication platforms. With all peripheral components integrated into an optimized ceramic QFN package, the devices are said to simplify the design process and reduce board space while delivering robust performance for next-generation aerospace and defense applications such as satellites and avionics systems.

“With the expansion of our portfolio, we continue to push the performance envelope, powering mission-critical functions across navigation, communication and radar networks that must work day-in and day-out without fail,” says Achim Soelter, general manager of defense & space.

The global satellite communications market (one segment of the aerospace and defense industry) will rise at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11% from under $4.6bn in 2017 to nearly $7.5bn by 2022, estimates BCC Research.

As part of its portfolio, Skyworks provides upscreened and hermetically sealed high-reliability optocouplers, RF diodes and RFICs including multi-chip modules (MCM). Product upscreening includes the equivalent of Class B and Class S of MIL-PRF-38535, Class H and Class K of MILPRF-38534, and JANS, JANTX and JANTXV level of MIL-PRF-19500. Select solutions include:

SKYH22001 – hermetically sealed, integrated broadband low-noise amplifier with -55°C to +125°C performance, internally tuned for 700MHz to 2.7GHz and tunable up to 3.8GHz; and
SKYH22002 – hermetically sealed, integrated gain block amplifier with -55°C to +125°C performance, internally tuned for 700MHz to 2.7GHz and tunable from 0.1 to 6GHz.
