SKY65174-21: 2.4 to 2.5 GHz WLAN Power Amplifier Module
Applications
IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN systems
ISM band transmitters
Wireless access points, routers, gateways
Description
The SKY65174-21 is a highly integrated power amplifier module
(PAM) intended for high performance wireless local area network
(WLAN) requiring up to +27 dBm linear output power.
The SKY65174-21 is fabricated using Skyworks high reliability
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) InGaP process, which
allows for single supply operation while maintaining high
efficiency and good linearity.
The PAM is packaged in a 10-pin, 4 x 4 mm Multi-Chip Module
(MCM) together with power detector, biasing, and input/output
matching components. This architecture makes the SKY65174-21
a highly integrated solution requiring a minimum number of
external components.
A functional block diagram of the SKY65174-21 is shown in
Figure 1. The 10-pin MCM package and pinout are provided in
Figure 2. Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions
are provided in Table 1.

Technical Description
The SKY65174-21 meets the stringent WLAN spectral masks for
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) composite
signals. The high linearity of the PA enables an Error Vector
Magnitude (EVM) of less than 3% at output power levels of
+27 dBm.
The power detector achieves a dynamic range greater than 25 dB.
The PAM is stable up to an 6:1 voltage standing-wave ratio
(VSWR).
The SKY65174-21 PAM supports a battery voltage range of 3.3 V
up to 5.5 V.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY65174-21 are provided
in Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are specified
in Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in Tables 4
(V
CC
= 5 V) and 5 (V
CC
= 3.3 V).
Typical performance characteristics of the SKY65174-21 are
illustrated in Figures 3 to 8.

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.
Note 2:
Measured at the package pins.
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.
