Woburn, Mass.—Skyworks Solutions, Inc. has introduced a low noise amplifier (LNA) line, featuring pHEMT and SiGe technologies. Applications include GPS; infrastructure such as GSM, WCDMA and LTE base station transceivers; ISM band and satellite radio; and WLAN markets.

Devices in the line are designed for operation from 450 to 6000 MHz. Key specifications include performance at 2 GHz—Gain: 16 dB (typical); Noise figure: 0.55 dB; OIP3: 20 dBm (typical); P1dB: 8dBm; and quiescent current: 16 mA (typical) at Vdd = 2 V.

The first released product is the SKY65050-372LF, a low noise, n-channel, depletion mode pHEMT, fabricated from Skyworks' advanced pHEMT process and packaged in a miniature 4-lead SC-70 package. The transistor's low noise figure, high gain, and IP3 spec allows it to be used in various receiver and transmitter applications.
