The TQP3M9007 gain block operates with a low 1.3 dB noise figure while delivering 13 dB gain at 1.9 GHz; P1dB RF output is 23.6 dBm; OIP3 is 41 dBm; electrical current consumption (Idd) is 125 mA.
The TQP3M9028 has a low 2.0 dB noise figure & provides flat gain (±0.2 dB) across a wide bandwidth; it delivers 14.7 dB gain at 1.9 GHz. The device’s P1dB RF output power is 21 dBm; OIP3 is 40 dBm; electrical current consumption (Idd) is 85 mA.
Samples and evaluation boards are available and further details are available on TriQuint’s website.
Skyworks unveils first stand- alone products for 3G and LTE
The company’s new gallium nitride detectors incorporate a high off-state impedance transceiver and minimise loading other detectors connected to the input line.
Skyworks has increased its product portfolio by adding high dynamic range power detectors for smart phones and datacards.
need for small, stand-alone solutions that are compatible with various baseband architectures and accommodate multiple 3G and LTE band combinations.
In addition, these devices have been designed to work with the SKY7770X and SKY7772X series of 3G and 4G power amplifiers to expand the compatibility of the integrated daisy chain coupler for the majority of basebands and transceivers.
The detectors’ small size (1.2 mm x 1.5 mm) minimises board space requirements, while their higher dynamic range increases power control and improves total radiated power performance. Their low current consumption enables both longer standby and talk times, and their high off-state impedance level is particularly beneficial for today’s demanding, high-end 3G smart phones.
“We are delighted to once again be at the forefront of technology innovation,” said Gregory L. Waters, executive vice president and general manager of front-end solutions at Skyworks. “Skyworks’ new power detectors are highly compatible with other solutions from our portfolio and allow us to offer our customers a full end-to-end solution for smart phones and data cards.”
The SKY77002 is a stand-alone, high dynamic range power detector designed for use in smart phones and data cards in conjunction with Skyworks’ power amplifiers in 3G and LTE applications. The detector is manufactured with Skyworks’ GaN HBT process offering state-of-the- art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
The SKY77002 detector circuit technology is optimally aligned for transceivers that require external detection for power control. Exceptional temperature and voltage compensation maintains accuracy over extreme operating conditions.
The detector presents high off-state impedance to the transceiver to minimise loading other detectors connected to the input line. The SKY77002 is packaged in the quad flat no-lead package and is fully compliant with current restriction of hazardous substances requirements.
Skyworks’ new RF detectors are currently available. Skyworks’ RF detectors address the market’s 70
