- Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has launched the SKY65623-682LF low-noise amplifier (LNA) for applications including wearables, asset trackers, navigation devices, and action cameras.
- The discrete LNA is optimized to operate at 1559-1606MHz, has a very low current (1mA @ 1.8V supply) and a single power supply (1.5-3.6V range) for design flexibility and simplicity.
- The broad frequency range spans GPS L1, GLONASS, Galileo and Compass navigation systems, and minimizes external components, reducing the bill of materials for OEMs.
- The SKY65623-682LF comes in a compact form factor (5L QFN 0.8mm x 0.8mm package), suitable for low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
