SKYA21055

SKYA21055: Automotive Multimode Multiband Power Amplifier Module for Quad-Band GSM, LTE, LTE-A (Downlink Carrier Aggregation Applications)


The SKYA21055 is a hybrid, multimode multiband (MMMB) Power Amplifier Module (PAM) that supports 2.5G and 3G/4G telematics modems and operates efficiently in GSM, EGPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, and LTE modes. The PAM consists of a GSM 800/EGSM 900 PA block, a DCS1800/PCS1900 PA block, separate WCDMA blocks operating in low and high bands, a logic control block for multiple power control levels, and band enable functions in both cellular and UMTS. RF I/O ports are internally matched to 50  to minimize the number of external components. Extremely low leakage current maximizes handset standby time. The InGaP/GaAs die and passive components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate and the assembly encapsulated in plastic overmold. GSM/EDGE:
The SKYA21055 uses a new compact architecture supporting the GSM850, EGSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands. The PAM also supports 2.5G Class 12 Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS) multi-slot operation and EDGE linear modulation.

WCDMA:
The SKYA21055 uses an enhanced architecture to support WCDMA, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) and LTE modulations; cover multiple bands for 3GPP, including bands 1, 25, 3, 4, 26, 8 and operate at different power modes. The module is fully controlled through MIPI interface.

TD-SCDMA/TDD LTE:
The SKYA21055 uses an enhanced architecture that supports TD-SCDMA bands 34/39 and TDD LTE band 39.

LTE:
The SKYA21055 meets spectral linearity requirements of LTE modulation with QPSK/16QAM up to 20 MHz bandwidth, including various resource block allocations, with good power-added efficiency.
