SKY65352-11: 2.4 GHz Transmit/Receive Front-End Module
with Integrated Low-Noise Amplifier
Applications
Description
• 2.4 GHz ISM band radios
Skyworks SKY65352-11 is a high-efficiency Front-End Module
(FEM). The device contains a 2400 to 2500 MHz high efficiency
transmit path and a low-noise receive path.
• ZigBee® FEMs
• IEEE 802.15.4 applications
The transmit path consists of a high efficiency Power Amplifier
(PA) and harmonic filter. The receive path contains a low current
Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA).
Features
The transmit and receive paths are connected to a common
Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) switch at both the input and
output.
• Transmit output power > +20 dBm
• Receive path NF < 2.5 dB
• High efficiency PA
There is an internal balun that allows either the transmit input or
the receive output to connect to a differential port.
• Configurable transmit/receive paths
The device is mounted in a 20-pin, 6 x 6 mm Multi-Chip Module
(MCM) Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) package, which allows
for a highly manufacturable low-cost solution.
• Internal switching and control circuits
• Internal RF match and bias circuits
• Single DC supply = 3.3 V
• All RF ports are internally DC blocked
• Small footprint, MCM (20-pin, 6 x 6 mm) SMT package (MSL3,
260 °C per JEDEC J-STD-020)
A block diagram of the SKY65352-11 is shown in Figure 1. The
device package and pinout for the 20-pin MCM are shown in
Figure 2.

Technical Description
Shut Down and T/R Switch Mode Control
Pin 8 (SDN) is used to enable the device while pin 20 (T_R)
enables transmit or receive mode. The following control logic is
used to configure the transmit, receive, or shut down mode of the
SKY65352-11:

operating conditions are specified in Table 3 and electrical
specifications are provided in Table 4.
The SKY65352-11 provides one RF differential port composed of
the RF_P and RF_N pin signals (pins 5 and 6, respectively). The
Smith chart shown in Figure 3 plots the impedance of the RF
differential port. Typical performance characteristics are shown in
Figures 4, 5, and 6.
Package and Handling Information
Bottom Center Paddle
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.
The bottom center paddles must be electrically grounded for
proper RF performance. Customers should place adequate
thermal vias under the ground paddles for optimum thermal
performance. The Evaluation Board layout can be used as a guide
for RF ground and thermal layout.
The SKY65352-11 is 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.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
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.
Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are

Note 1: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
