SKY66111-11 Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Front-End Module

Skyworks Solutions offers its SKY66111-11 module for range extension in wearable technology, beacons, sensors, home automation, and IoT devices

Image of Skyworks Solutions' SKY66111-11 Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Front-End ModuleSkyworks Solutions' SKY66111-11 is a highly integrated front-end module including the TX/RX and antenna switch, filtering, and amplifier needed to improve range and performance of BLE (Bluetooth Smart) design. This device is ideal for use with Bluetooth radios from Nordic Semiconductor, Dialog Semiconductor, and Texas Instruments, among others. In a tightly integrated, battery-powered design, range of the device affects the overall performance; poor connections can cause the radio to be on for longer periods of time decreasing the battery life dramatically. Adding this front-end module can help save on power consumption by allowing the host Bluetooth IC to operate at a lower output power, reducing the overall power consumption of the system.

Features Applications
  • Low power consumption: 10 mA at +10 dBm
  • Output: +6 dBm to +13 dBm (single-pin controllable)
  • Supply operation: 1.8 V to 5 V
  • Low sleep current: < 1 μA
  • RX bypass
  • Small MCM (20-pin, 3.3 mm x 3 mm x 0.8 mm) package (MSL3, 260°C per JEDEC-J-STD-020)
  • Range extension
  • Beacons
  • Wearable devices
  • Home automation
  • Remote sensors
  • Internet of Things (IoT)
