SKY65362-11: 900 to 930 MHz High-Power RF Front-End
Module
Applications
Smart meters
In-home appliances
Smart thermostats
Description
The SKY65362-11 is a high-performance, highly integrated RF
front-end module (FEM) designed for high-power Industrial,
Scientific, Medical (ISM) band applications operating in the 900 to
930 MHz frequency range.
The FEM is designed for ease of use and maximum flexibility with
fully matched, 50
Ω
power amplifier (PA) input and output, and
digital controls compatible with 1.6 to 3.3 V CMOS levels.
The RF blocks operate over a wide supply voltage range from
3.00 to 5.25 V that allows the SKY65362-11 to be used in battery
powered applications over a wide spectrum of the battery
discharge curve.
The SKY65362-11 is packaged in a 36-pin, 6 x 6 mm Multi-Chip
Module (MCM), which allows for a highly manufacturable low-cost
solution.
A functional block diagram of the SKY65362-11 is shown in
Figure 1. The 36-pin MCM package and pinout are shown in
Figure 2. Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions
are provided in Table 1.

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.
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.
