Description
Skyworks CX65104 Power Amplifier (PA) is a fully matched, 8-pin
Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) surface mount module, developed for
cellular, Wireless Local Loop (WLL), and Industrial, Scientific,
Medical (ISM) applications. This small, power-efficient PA has a
full 700 to 1000 MHz bandwidth coverage packed into a single
compact package.
All active circuitry in the module is contained in a single Gallium
Arsenide (GaAs) Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC).
The CX65104 is manufactured with Skyworks Aluminum (Al) GaAs
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, which allows for
single supply operation while maintaining high efficiency and
good linearity.
Figure 1 shows a functional block diagram for the CX65104. The
device package and pinout are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin
assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in
Table 1.

Technical Description
The CX65104 is comprised of two amplifier stages. The matching
circuits for the input stage, inter-stage, and output stage are
contained within the device. The bias circuits for both input and
output stages are included within the device for optimum
temperature tracking performance.
The CX65104 is internally matched for optimum linearity and
efficiency. The input and output stages are independently
supplied using the VCC1 and VCC2 supply lines, pins 8 and 4
respectively.
ensure that the part is not subjected to a temperature that
exceeds 300
°C
for more than 10 seconds.
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. For packaging details, refer to the Skyworks
Application Note,
Tape and Reel,
document number 101568.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The absolute maximum ratings of the CX65104 are provided in
Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are specified in
Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in Table 4.
Typical performance characteristics over temperature of the
CX65104 are illustrated in Figures 3 through 8.
Figure 9 shows the package dimensions for the 8-pin CX65104
LCC and Figure 10 provides the tape and reel dimensions.
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.
If the part is attached in a reflow oven, the temperature ramp rate
should not exceed 5
°C
per second. Maximum temperature
should not exceed 225
°C
and the time spent at a temperature
that exceeds 210
°C
should be limited to less than 10 seconds. If
the part is manually attached, precaution should be taken to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitivity
The CX65104 is a static-sensitive electronic device. Do not
operate or store near strong electrostatic fields. Take proper ESD
precautions.
