Description
The SKY66430-11 is a multi-band multi-chip System-in-
Package (SiP) supporting cellular LTE-M/NB-IoT
(half-duplex FDD) platforms. The SiP integrates the entire RF
front end, transceiver, power management, memory, and
baseband modem for an LTE multi-band radio operating in the
698 to 2200 MHz frequency range. NOR flash, crystals, and a
few passives external to the package complete the SiP
implementation.
Front-End Section
The front-end section includes Rx low-pass filters, broadband
PA with bias controller, Tx low-pass harmonic filter, and
antenna switch.
Rx Section
Receive low-pass filters are integrated into the SIP along with
the necessary matching to yield a 50 Ωsingle-ended
impedance for the antenna. The filters provide a high level of
rejection to out-of-band interferers, protecting the transceiver
from high blocking signal levels and guaranteeing 3GPP LTE
blocking test conformance. The Rx low-pass filters are
cascaded with the low throw count switch to establish a lower
insertion loss and noise figure than conventional LTE receivers.
Tx Section
The PA load-line is optimized for high efficiency while
simultaneously meeting 3GPP ACLR and emissions mask
specifications with LTE up to 6 RB. An integrated LPF is
implemented to reject the PA and transceiver harmonics while
at the same time minimizing any post PA loss for an optimized
transmit current consumption. Out-of-band emissions
performance is emphasized by the design to be 3GPP-compliant
for low-band B5, B8, B12, B13, B14, B17, B18, B19, B20, B26,
B28, B85 and mid-band B1/B2/B3/B4/B25/B66.
This SiP includes the Sequans
