Skyworks Launches Innovative Direct Demodulator for Broadband Wireless Applications; Simplified Design Enables Low-Cost Access to a Wide Range of Applications; Expands Company's Linear Products' Portfolio.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an industry leader in radio solutions and precision analog semiconductors, today introduced a new direct quadrature demodulator with integrated low-noise amplifier (LNA) for the 5 Gigahertz (GHz) band, delivering new levels of integration and performance for standard products in this spectrum. Given its simplified design, this solution facilitates access to various broadband applications in a low-cost approach.

The demodulator provides the flexibility to design receivers for various licensed and unlicensed broadband wireless data systems using low-cost and low-power direct conversion architecture. In addition, it is an ideal RF solution for the unlicensed WiMAX market, dedicated short range communications, 802.11, 5.8 GHz industrial and medical RFID readers, and proprietary wireless data links.

"Skyworks' new direct demodulator is a prime example of our technological depth and breadth," said Sean Martin, senior director of marketing for Linear Products at Skyworks. "Our solution enables broadband wireless data innovators to easily adapt to the industry's requirements for 5 GHz, while at the same time providing us the opportunity to serve new markets."

Skyworks launched its Linear Products business to aggressively leverage the company's core RF and analog product portfolio and modeling capabilities, along with its strong catalog sales channels and specialized rep and distributor networks, in non-handset applications. Thus far, Skyworks has secured several strategic design wins in the medical, broadband, automotive and industrial markets.

About the SKY73013

The SKY73013 offers superior quadrature accuracy performance, noise figure and linearity specifications, making the device ideal for even the most difficult modulation formats, including 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The internal "no-pull" architecture offsets the voltage-controlled oscillator from the carrier frequency by a factor of 3 to 2. This innovative architecture eliminates LO pulling and dynamic direct current (DC) offset issues - solving the classic direct conversion radio design challenges, while allowing the use of readily available synthesizer products, including the SKY72302.

The direct demodulator operates from 4.9 to 5.925 GHz (at an LO range of 3.2 to 3.9 GHz), has a 6 Decibel (dB) noise figure, and an input 1-dB compression point of -15 dBm. The SKY73013 operates at 3.3 volts at a low current consumption of 35 Milliampere (mA), over a temperature range of -40 to +85 Celsius (C) in a 4x4 quad flat no lead (QFN) package.
