Description
The SKY67105-306LF is a GaAs pHEMT and HBT two-stage, LowNoise Amplifier (LNA) with active bias and high linearity
performance. The pHEMT front end of the device provides an
ultra-low Noise Figure (NF) while the HBT output stage provides
high gain, linearity, and efficiency.
The SKY67105-306LF operates in the frequency range of 0.6 to
1.1 GHz. For higher frequency operation, the pin and layoutcompatible SKY67106-306LF (Data Sheet document # 201521)
should be used.
The SKY67105-306LF is provided in a 4 x 4 mm, 16-pin Quad Flat
No-Lead (QFN) 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.

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. The
SKY67105-306LF is a Class 1B ESD device.
