Wi-Fi 6 front-end module ideal for IoT systems

03-07-2019 | Mouser Electronics | Subs & Systems

Mouser is now stocking the SKY85726-11 front end module (FEM) from Skyworks Solutions. The 5 GHz WLAN device is ideal for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)-based IoT systems, offering a fully integrated solution in a compact 3mm x 3mm form factor.

The FEM integrates a 5GHz PA, SPDT transmit-receive switch, and LNA with bypass mode into a single 16-pin QFN device. The LNA and PA disable functions secure low leakage current in off mode, and an integrated power detector offers closed-loop power control inside the system. The device provides superior linearity with high gain and 50dB antenna for isolation.

The company also stocks the SKY85726-11EK1 evaluation board, which incorporates SMA connectors and pinouts to assist engineers in demonstrating the capabilities of the FEM.
