Front-end modules for Bluetooth IoT applications
Skyworks has introduced the SKY66118-11 and the SKY66407-11, 2.4GHz front-end modules (FEMs) for Bluetooth Internet of Things (IoT) applications including smartwatches, trackers, connected home systems, wireless and gaming headsets and more.
These low power solutions significantly improve range (reportedly more than doubled) when compared to standalone system-on-chip (SoC) implementations, and efficiently deliver more power to the antenna, thereby minimising or potentially eliminating any required antenna matching network.
The FEMs also integrate power amplifier output matching, harmonic filtering, and bypass path switching which enable flexible and innovative end product designs for space-constrained IoT applications.
