Description
The SKY65981-11 is an ultra Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) intended
for 5 GHz, IEEE 802.11ac/n wireless receiver applications. Its
industry-leading Noise Figure (NF), together with high linearity,
make it ideal as a first-stage LNA in IEEE 802.11ac/n Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN) radios.
Operating with a single supply voltage, the SKY65981-11
consumes only 12 mA of current. The device includes a bypass
mode for near field applications and to save power when the
receiver is inactive.
The tiny package footprint of the SKY65981-11, requiring only
four external components, enables the industry’s smallest PCB
area needed to implement a fully-matched 5 GHz LNA.
A block diagram of the SKY65981-11 is shown in Figure 1. The
device package and pinout for the 6-pin Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN)
are shown in Figure 2.

Technical Description
Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard
tape and reel format.
The SKY65981-11 is fully matched at 50 Ω and requires only a
simple bypass circuit on pin 6 (VCC). The bypass/shutdown mode
is achieved by switching the LNA_EN signal (pin 1) to 0 V.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are
described in Table 1. The absolute maximum ratings of the
SKY65981-11 are provided in Table 2. The recommended
operating conditions are specified in Table 3 and electrical
specifications are provided in Table 4.
Package and Handling Information
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.
Performance characteristics for the SKY65981-11 are illustrated
in Figures 3 through 9.
An application schematic diagram for the SKY65981-11 is shown
in Figure 10. The PCB footprint drawing for the SKY65981-11 is
provided in Figure 11. Typical part markings are shown in
Figure 12. The package dimensions for the 6-pin QFN are shown
in Figure 13, and the tape and reel dimensions are provided in
Figure 14.
The SKY65981-11 is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL1)
at 260 C. It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For
additional information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note,
Solder Reflow Information, document number 200164.
Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is
done manually or in a production solder reflow environment.

Note 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 values. 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.
