Skyworks Unveils Revolutionary Front-end Solution
SkyOne(TM) Incorporates All Popular 2G, 3G and 4G Bands as well as Switches and
Filters for an Unprecedented Level of Integration and Carrier Coverage
WOBURN, Mass., Jun 26, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS),
an innovator of high reliability analog semiconductors enabling a broad range of
end markets, today announced that it has launched a breakthrough front-end system
that integrates all RF and analog content between the transceiver and antenna for
simplified design within demanding next generation mobile platforms. Leveraging
Skyworks' silicon integration expertise, advanced manufacturing technologies and
proprietary techniques, SkyOne(TM) is the world's first semiconductor device to
condense multiband power amplifiers and high throw switches along with all
associated filtering, duplexing and control functionality into a single,
ultra-compact package---all in less than half the area of the industry's most
advanced approach. At the same time, this groundbreaking solution provides the
world's best linearity and power added efficiency (PAE) for smart RF integration.
As a result, SkyOne(TM) offers smartphone, tablet and ultrabook OEMs significant
board space savings, ease of implementation, performance and time to market
advantages.
Even as radio content and complexity continue to rise, consumers are demanding
increasingly thinner and lighter mobile platforms with increased talk/data access
time. To meet this challenge, SkyOne(TM) optimizes performance beyond what is
possible with less integrated devices and incorporates all popular 2G, 3G and
4G/LTE protocols enabling seamless global network roaming and extended battery
life.
"With the introduction of the SkyOne(TM) platform, Skyworks is redefining mobile
communications technology," said Gregory L. Waters, executive vice president and
general manager of front-end solutions at Skyworks. "Our breakthrough
architecture is the culmination of extensive research and development that
leverages Skyworks' product depth, intellectual property scale and system-level
expertise. As OEMs focus on industrial design, application development and
marketing, they are increasingly turning to Skyworks to deliver a complete,
drop-in front-end solution that optimizes each band and imposes no additional
requirements to match components. SkyOne(TM) uniquely answers our customers'
design, implementation and time to market needs by ensuring that all RF and
analog functionality works in concert."
About Skyworks' Family of SkyOne(TM) Front-End Solutions
Skyworks' SkyOne(TM) family of FEMs integrate the following in a single package:
-- 2G / 3G / 4G power amplifiers
-- Support for bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17 and 20
-- Quad band GSM/EDGE power amplifiers and filters
-- All associated duplexer functionality
-- Integrated CMOS switches and control functions
-- DCS/PCS Rx filters
SkyOne(TM) enhances the carrier connectivity experience independent of operator
or region. Future devices will leverage the best of new process, circuit design
and advanced interconnect technology to create further disruptive improvements in
size, performance and band integration.
