Devices Support All Major SoC Platforms and a
Growing Number of Internet of Things Applications with Embedded
Cellular Connections
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today announced it has expanded its family of SkyLiTE™
front-end solutions powering LTE devices. Originally targeted for
mobile platforms in emerging markets, the newest solutions are also
being adopted across Internet of Things (IoT) applications that
utilize embedded cellular connections such as the connected car and
wearables.
The SkyLiTE™ product family incorporates the amplification,
switching, Wi-Fi filtering and coupler functionality required to
support all major FDD/TDD bands and has been uniquely architected
to support the hardware and software compatibility requirements for
all major system on a chip platforms. With the addition of external
duplexers, this product suite provides OEMs with a scalable and
reconfigurable front-end system for broad markets and applications
worldwide.
“As the world becomes more connected, OEMs require partners who
can deliver system level solutions across traditional as well as
new and previously unimagined applications,” said Carlos Bori, vice
president of marketing for Skyworks Solutions. “With our SkyLiTE™
portfolio, Skyworks is once again delivering the innovation
required by customers seeking the highest levels of integration,
performance and flexibility spanning the smartphone, automotive,
industrial and wearable markets.”
According to a September 2015 GfK Projector Model Report, LTE
will represent approximately 49 percent of total handsets by 2016,
up from 22 percent of total handsets in 2014. Further, according to
a recent GSMA Intelligence Report, the machine-to-machine (M2M)
market has seen rapid growth globally over recent years as
operators and governments recognize the potential of IoT and the
number of active deployments starts to accelerate. As of December
2014, there were 243 million cellular M2M connections globally. The
total number of cellular M2M connections is expected to grow at a
compounded annual growth rate of 26 percent between 2014 and 2020,
bringing the total to almost one billion connections. In the
automotive sector, Business Intelligence forecasts there will be
100 million new cars shipped with built in connectivity by 2020, up
from just 20 million today.
Skyworks’ SkyLiTE™ solutions target these fast growing
segments.
About Skyworks Expanded Family of SkyLiTE™ Solutions
SKY77643-21 – is a multimode multiband power amplifier module
that supports 3G/4G handsets and operates efficiently in WCDMA,
TD-SCDMA and LTE modes. The module is fully programmable through a
Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI®). The InGaP and silicon
die along with the passive components are mounted on a multi-layer
laminate substrate and come in a 4.0 x 6.8 x 0.8 mm, 42-pad MCM,
SMT package for a highly manufacturable, low cost solution.
SKY77822-21 – is a fully matched, 28-pad surface mount power
amplifier module developed for LTE applications. The module
includes broadband coverage of FDD LTE Bands 7 and 30, TDD LTE
Bands 38/40, and Band 41, all in a compact 4.0 x 3.65 mm package.
The device delivers unsurpassed savings in current consumption for
data-intensive applications by attaining high efficiencies
throughout the entire power range.
SKY77916-21 – is a transmit/receive front-end module that offers
the complete transmit VCO-to-antenna and antenna-to-receive SAW
filter solution for advanced cellular handsets comprising quad-band
GSM, GPRS, EDGE multi-slot operation, and TD-SCDMA and TDD LTE
transmission. The FEM fully enables broadband 3G/4G RF
switch-through, outward switching of the power amplifier RF inputs,
14 transmit/receive antenna switch ports, and an integrated
directional coupler.
SKY77641 – is a multimode multiband power amplifier module that
supports 3G/4G handsets and operates efficiently in WCDMA, TD-SCDMA
and LTE modes. The module is fully programmable through a MIPI®.
The module consists of a WCDMA / LTE block for low, high, and
mid-bands, and a multi-function control block with RF input/output
ports internally matched to 50 to reduce the number of external
components.
