Devices Support High Growth Infrastructure
Segment; Leveraged by Analog Devices, Inc. in Reference Design
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today expanded its portfolio of small cell solutions with
the addition of new, high efficiency power amplifiers targeting
License Assisted Access (LAA) and LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) spectrum
for LTE-Advanced base stations. With leading wireless carriers and
telecommunications manufacturers transitioning from 4G to 5G
networks and deploying new equipment, there is an increasing demand
for efficient, highly integrated system architectures to support
emerging requirements. Skyworks’ innovative devices offer four
times higher efficiency than competing products available in the
market today and enable small cells to easily meet
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standards. When combined with the
pin-to-pin compatible SKY6629x small cell product family, Skyworks
is able to support all 3GPP bands. Analog Devices, Inc. is
leveraging this power amplifier family for its AD9375 small cell
radio reference design with integrated digital pre-distortion,
offering customers a single platform with the highest efficiency
and linearity available in the industry.
“Skyworks is focused on developing the most advanced solutions
for 5G base stations,” said John O’Neill, vice president of
marketing for Skyworks. “As our highly innovative small cell
amplifiers demonstrate, we are addressing challenging
infrastructure performance requirements for next generation
networks. At a higher level, Skyworks is driving connectivity
across diverse applications within the wireless ecosystem,
ultimately enhancing the consumer experience.”
According to an estimate from Small Cell Forum, small cell
shipments are expected to more than double from a base of 3.8
million units in 2016 to 7.8 million units by 2020, creating a $6
billion market segment.
About Skyworks’ Small Cell Solution
The SKY66288-11 is a compact 5 x 5 mm high-efficiency, four watt
peak power amplifier with high gain designed for the unlicensed
