all the active circuitry in the module. This includes the in-module
bias circuitry, as well as the RF interstage matching circuit. The
input and output match is realized off-chip within the module
package to optimize efficiency and high power performance
(P
1 dB
= 32.5 dBm) into a 50
W
load.
Primary bias to the SKY65116 can be supplied directly from a
single cell lithium-ion or other suitable battery with a nominal
output of 3.6 V. No external supply side switch is needed as
typical “off” leakage is a few microamperes with full primary
voltage supplied from the battery.
The module can operate over the temperature range of -40 °C to
+85 °C. A populated evaluation board is available upon request.

Performance is guaranteed only under the conditions listed in the specifications table and is
not guaranteed under the full range(s) described by the Absolute Maximum specifications.
Exceeding any of the absolute maximum/minimum specifications may result in permanent
damage to the device and will void the warranty. Each absolute maximum rating listed is an
individual parameter. Biasing and driving the amplifier with more than one absolute maximum
rating listed may result in permanent damage to the device. Exposure to maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability.
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 detec-
tion. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be
employed at all times.
