Description
The SKY65605-21 is a Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) front-end low-noise amplifier (LNA) designed for BeiDou
Satellite Navigation System/Global Positioning System/Global
Navigation Satellite System (BDS/GPS/GNSS) receiver
applications. The device provides high linearity, excellent gain, a
high 1 dB input compression point (IP1dB), and a superior noise
figure (NF).
Ultra-small QFN (6-pin, 0.7 x 1.1 mm) package
(MSL1, 260 C per JEDEC J-STD-020)
The SKY65605-21 is optimized to operate from 1.559 to
1.606 GHz, which makes it ideal for BDS/GPS/GNSS radio
receiver applications.
The SKY65605-21 is fabricated using advanced SiGe BiCMOS
technology. The LNA uses surface-mount technology (SMT) in the
form of a 0.7 x 1.1 mm Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package, which
allows for a highly manufacturable and low-cost solution.

The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY65605-21 are provided
in Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are specified
in Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in Tables 4
and 5.
The VEN signal (pin 6) enables or disables the LNA DC power. A
logic high signal powers on the LNA and a logic low signal powers
off the device.

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.
ESD HANDLING: 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 when handling or transporting. Static charges may easily produce
potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection.
Industry-standard ESD handling precautions should be used at all times.
