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.

The board is optimized for evaluation, experimentation, and investigation with an 802.15.4 signal source. The design and layout can be quickly and easily transferred into a production design. The PCB layout footprint for the SKY66110-11 is provided in Figure 6. Typical part markings are shown in Figure 7. Package dimensions are shown in Figure 8, and tape and reel dimensions are provided in Figure 9. An Evaluation Board schematic diagram is provided in Figure 3. A reference design schematic is provided in Figure 4. Table 9 provides the Bill of Materials (BOM) list for Evaluation Board components. A photograph of the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 5. Evaluation Board Setup Procedure Connect Supply 1. Connect J1 and J4 to 50 instruments. Terminate all unused ports (if applicable) with 50 . 2. Connect the supply ground to Pins 1, 4, and 6 of J2. 3. Connect 3.3 V to pin 7 of J2. 4. Connect 1.8 V to one of the logic pins (pin 3 or pin 5) on J2 to select RX or TX mode. Connect the other logic pin to ground. Refer to Table 8 for mode control settings. 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. The SKY66110-11 is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL3) at 260 C. It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For additional information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note, PCB Design and SMT Assembly/Rework Guidelines for MCM-L Packages, document number 101752. 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. Measure Performance TX Monitor the 2.4 GHz amplifier performance by applying an RF signal to connector J4 (TR) and verify the output power on connector J1 (ANT). RX Monitor the 2.4 GHz switch performance by applying an RF signal to connector J1 (ANT) and verify the output signal on connector J4 (TR). CAUTION: Care should be taken not to overdrive the switch by applying too much RF on the input to the device. A starting input power of −20 dBm is suitable.
