SKY85711-21

5 GHz WLAN Front-End Module


Please note: SKY85711-21 is being discontinued and is not recommended for new designs. The suggested replacement is sky85712-21

The SKY85711-21 is a highly integrated, 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) incorporating a 5 GHz single-pole, doublethrow (SPDT) transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a 5 GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass, and a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA) intended for mobile/portable 802.11ac applications and systems.

The LNA and PA disable functions ensure low leakage current in off mode. An integrated power detector is included to provide closed-loop power control within the system.

The device is provided in a compact, 16-pin 2.5 x 2.5 mm Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package.
