SKY65370-11 Block Diagram Description The SKY65370-11 is variable gain Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) with an active bias and high linearity performance. The first stage of the device is comprised of an LNA with a bypass switch that is followed by a high linearity driver amplifier, a variable voltage attenuator, and a high linearity power amplifier. This module architecture provides excellent return loss, low noise, and high linearity performance. The internal active bias circuitry ensures repeatable performance over temperature. The device is fully integrated and requires minimal external components. The SKY65370-11 is manufactured in a compact, 8 x 8 mm, 16pin Multi-Chip Module (MCM) package. A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in Table 1. Figure 2.

An assembly drawing for the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 3 and the layer detail is provided in Figure 4. The layer detail physical characteristics are noted in Figure 5. Since the device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is baked and vacuum packed before shipping. Instructions on the shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. An Evaluation Board schematic diagram is provided in Figure 6. Table 7 provides the Bill of Materials (BOM) list for Evaluation Board components. Package Dimensions The PCB layout footprint for the SKY65370-11 is provided in Figure 7. Package dimensions for the 16-pin MCM are shown in Figure 8, and tape and reel dimensions are provided in Figure 9. The SKY65370-11is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL3) at 260 °C. It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For additional information, refer to Skyworks Application Note, PCB Design and SMT Assembly/Rework Guidelines for MCM-L Packages, document number 101752. Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is done manually or in a production solder reflow environment. Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard tape and reel format. Figure 3.
