Skyworks begins volume production of SkyOne Ultra front-end modules

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) says that SkyOne Ultra, the newest addition to its SkyOne platform, has entered volume production in support of several next-generation smartphones.

The SkyOne Ultra is a highly integrated solution that is optimized for envelope tracking, solves harmonically related carrier aggregation challenges, and delivers what is claimed to be the world's highest power-added efficiency.

The SkyOne family of devices is proliferating across leading smartphone OEMs, says Joel King, VP & general manager of Advanced Mobile Solutions for Skyworks. "SkyOne Ultra is yet another example of how we continue to leverage our broad systems expertise to create highly configurable and customized solutions that reduce system complexity," he adds. 

The SkyOne Ultra family (available now for sampling and production) includes the SKY78041 and SKY78042 hybrid, multi-mode multi-band front-end modules that support 2.5G, 3G/4G and CDMA handsets and operate efficiently in GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA and LTE modes. The SKY78041 leverages integrated duplexers for Bands 8, 12, 20, 26 and 29 targeting Europe, North America and Korea, while the SKY78042 leverages integrated duplexers for Bands 8, 12, 26, 28a and 28b targeting Latin America, Australia and China.

Skyworks is showcasing its product portfolio in Hall 6, Booth C41 (6C41) at the GSMA Mobile World Congress (MWC 2015) in Barcelona, Spain (2-5 March).
