Technical Description
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The SKY65081-70LF is a single stage, low-noise PA that operates
with a single 5 V power supply connected through an RF choke
(inductor L1) to the output signal (pin 3). The bias current is set by
the on-chip active bias composed of current mirror and reference
voltage transistors, which allow excellent gain tracking over
temperature and voltage variations. The device is externally RF
matched using surface mount components to facilitate operation
over a frequency range of 2000 to 3000 MHz.
Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are
described in Table 1. The absolute maximum ratings of the
SKY65081-70LF are provided in Table 2. The recommended
operating conditions are specified in Table 3 and electrical
specifications are provided in Table 4.
Typical performance characteristics of the SKY65081-70LF are
illustrated in Figures 3 through 12.

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.

Evaluation Board Description
The Skyworks SKY65081-70LF Evaluation Board is used to test
the performance of the SKY65081-70LF PA driver. An assembly
drawing for the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 13 and the
layer detail is provided in Figure 14.
Capacitors C7, C8, and C9 provide DC bias decoupling for VCC.
Pins 1 and 3 are the RF input and output signals, respectively.
External DC blocking is required on the input and output, but can
be implemented as part of the RF matching circuit. Pin 2 and the
package backside metal, pin 4, are ground pins that provide the
DC and RF ground, respectively.
Circuit Design Configurations
The following design considerations are general in nature and
must be followed regardless of final use or configuration.

+20
+30
POUT (dBm)
Figure 12. Current vs Output Power Over Voltage
1. Connect a 5.0 V supply to VCC. If available, enable the current
limiting function of the power supply to 100 mA.
2. Connect a signal generator to the RF signal input port. Set it to
the desired RF frequency at a power level of –15 dBm or less
to the Evaluation Board but do NOT enable the RF signal.
3. Connect a spectrum analyzer to the RF signal output port.
4. Enable the power supply.
5. Enable the RF signal.
6. Take measurements.
CAUTION: If any of the output signals exceed the rated
maximum values, the SKY65081-70LF Evaluation
Board can be permanently damaged.
1. Paths to ground should be made as short as possible.
Package and Handling Information
2. The ground pad of the SKY65081-70LF power amplifier has
special electrical and thermal grounding requirements. This
pad is the main thermal conduit for heat dissipation. Since the
circuit board acts as the heat sink, it must shunt as much
heat as possible from the amplifier. As such, design the
connection to the ground pad to dissipate the maximum
wattage produced to the circuit board. Multiple vias to the
grounding layer are required.
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.
NOTE: Junction temperature (Tj) of the device increases with a
poor connection to the slug and ground. This reduces the
lifetime of the device.
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. For packaging details, refer to the Skyworks
Application Note Tape and Reel, document number 101568.
A suggested matching circuit is shown in Figure 15 with
component values for the SKY65081-70LF-11 package option
listed in Table 5. Component values for the SKY65081-70LF-21
package option are shown in Table 6.
Testing Procedure
Use the following procedure to set up the SKY65081-70LF
Evaluation Board for testing:
The SKY65081-70LF is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 1
(MSL1) at 260 C. It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering.
