Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are
described in Table 1. The absolute maximum ratings of the
SKY65017-70LF are provided in Table 2. Electrical specifications
are provided in Table 3.
Typical performance characteristics of the SKY65017-70LF are
illustrated in Figures 3 through 6.

Description
RF input with 50
Ω
nominal input impedance. An internally generated DC voltage is present at this pin, so an external DC block
should be used to connect this pin to the external circuit.
Ground
RF output. DC supply voltage input and RF output with 50
Ω
nominal output impedance. The nominal voltage required at this pin is
listed in Table 3. Supply current is determined by an external resistor connected between the DC power supply and this pin.

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 values. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
ESD HANDLING:
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 when handling or transporting. Static charges may easily produce
potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection.
Industry-standard ESD handling precautions should be used at all times.
