SKY67012-396LF Block Diagram Flexible supply voltage from 1.8 to 5.0 V Adjustable supply current for higher IIP3 Description Incorporates on-die stability structures The SKY67012-396LF is a GaAs, pHEMT low-noise amplifier Miniature DFN (8-pin, 2 x 2 mm) package (LNA) with an integrated active bias. The advanced GaAs pHEMT (MSL1 260 C per JEDEC J-STD-020) enhancement mode process provides excellent return loss, low noise, and high linearity. TM The device offers the ability to externally adjust the supply Skyworks Green products are compliant with current. The supply voltage is applied to the RF-OUT/VDD pin all applicable legislation and are halogen-free. through an RF choke inductor. The VBIAS pin should be connected For additional information, refer to Skyworks TM to the RF OUT/VDD pin through an external resistor to control the Denition of Green , document number supply current. Both RF OUT/VDD and RF IN pins should be DC SQ040074. blocked to ensure proper operation. The SKY67012-396LF is manufactured in a compact, 2 x 2 mm, 8-pin Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) package.

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.
