Description
The SKY66113-11 is a high-performance, fully integrated RF
front-end module (FEM) designed for Bluetooth Low
Energy/Bluetooth Smart, 802.15.4, Thread, and ZigBee
applications.
The SKY66113-11 is designed for ease of use and maximum
flexibility. The device integrates a high-gain, low-noise LNA,
transmit bypass path, and digital controls compatible with 1.6 V to
3.6 V CMOS levels.
The RF blocks operate over a wide supply voltage range from
1.7 V to 3.6 V that allows the SKY66113-11 to be used in battery
powered applications over a wide spectrum of the battery
discharge curve.
A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The
SKY66113-11 is provided in a small, 16-pin, 2.4 × 2.4 mm
Multi-Chip Module (MCM) package. The pin configuration and
package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin assignments and
functional pin descriptions are provided in Table 1.

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.
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.

Application Schematic Description
A reference design schematic is provided in Figure 3. An
Evaluation Board schematic diagram is shown in Figure 4. A
photograph of the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 5. Table 7
provides the Bill of Materials (BOM) list for Evaluation Board
components.
Package and Handling Information
Since the device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is
baked and vacuum packed before shipping. Instructions on the
shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the
container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems
related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is
subjected to high temperature during solder assembly.
The SKY66113-11 is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL3)
at 260
C.
It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For
additional information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note,
PCB Design and SMT Assembly/Rework Guidelines for MCM-L
Packages,
document number 101752.
Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is
done manually or in a production solder reflow environment.
Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard
tape and reel format.
Package Dimensions
The PCB layout footprint for the SKY66113-11 is provided in
Figure 6. The typical part marking is shown in Figure 7. Package
dimensions are shown in Figure 8, and tape and reel dimensions
are provided in Figure
