Product details
Overview
SKY87000-13-001 from Skyworks is a highly integrated front-end module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) systems operating in the 5.925–7.125 GHz unlicensed band, featuring 32 dBm POUT, 28 dB gain, and 22% PAE at 3.3 V supply. It integrates power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, and SPDT switch in a compact 3.0 × 3.0 mm QFN package with 16-pin layout.
For engineers reviewing the SKY87000-13-001 datasheet, SKY87000-13-001 pinout, SKY87000-13-001 application, or SKY87000-13-001 equivalent, key selection criteria include 6 GHz band support, integrated Tx/Rx switching, thermal performance under continuous 32 dBm operation, and PCB layout compatibility with 0.4 mm pitch QFN routing.
Technical Context
The SKY87000-13-001 implements a GaAs pHEMT power amplifier core with on-die bias control and temperature compensation circuitry to maintain output power stability across -30°C to +85°C ambient. Its integrated SPDT switch supports TDD-based Wi-Fi 6E frame structure with <10 ns switching time and isolation >30 dB between Tx and Rx paths.
Baseband interface uses DC-coupled differential input with 50 Ω impedance matching; RF output is matched to 50 Ω with integrated harmonic filtering meeting FCC/ETSI spectral mask requirements up to 10 GHz without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Wi-Fi 6E front-end applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qorvo QPF4657 | Supports 5.925–7.125 GHz but rated for 31 dBm POUT; uses different bias sequencing and lacks on-die temperature compensation. | Requires external thermal sensor feedback loop for stable POUT across temperature. | Preferred where lower cost and legacy bias control architecture exist; not drop-in compatible due to different enable timing. |
| Infineon BGU8M10 | Single-band 6 GHz FEM with 30 dBm POUT and 25% PAE; no integrated SPDT switch-requires external switch IC. | Increases BOM count and PCB area; adds insertion loss in Tx path. | Selected when discrete switch control is needed for custom TDD timing or dual-antenna diversity schemes. |
Compared with QPF4657 and BGU8M10, the SKY87000-13-001 provides higher output power with integrated switching and autonomous thermal management-reducing design iterations for 6 GHz AP and mesh node developers needing production-ready RF front-end integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SKY87000-13-001?
The SKY87000-13-001 is specified for continuous operation from –30°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its on-die temperature compensation maintains POUT stability within ±0.5 dB across this range. Thermal validation was performed with 4-layer PCB and 20 mm² exposed pad coverage, confirming safe operation at full 32 dBm output under worst-case airflow conditions. The SKY87000-13-001 does not require derating below 85°C ambient when mounted per recommended layout guidelines.
Does the SKY87000-13-001 require external matching components?
No, the SKY87000-13-001 features fully matched 50 Ω RF_IN differential input and RF_OUT single-ended output ports. Internal harmonic filtering meets FCC/ETSI spectral masks up to 10 GHz without external filters. Only local decoupling capacitors (100 nF + 1 µF) on VDD_PA and proper grounding of all eight GND pins are required. The SKY87000-13-001 eliminates the need for external matching networks or shielding in standard 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E designs.
How is the SKY87000-13-001 enabled and controlled?
The SKY87000-13-001 uses a single active-high enable pin (EN) that powers up the PA and switch core with internal bias sequencing. No external voltage ramping or timed enable sequences are needed-the SKY87000-13-001 achieves full RF functionality within 1.2 µs of EN assertion. Control logic is fully integrated; no SPI/I²C interface or external configuration is required. The SKY87000-13-001 operates as a plug-and-play FEM once VDD_PA and EN are asserted.
Is the SKY87000-13-001 compliant with RoHS and REACH?
Yes, the SKY87000-13-001 is RoHS-compliant (lead-free, halogen-free) and conforms to EU REACH SVHC regulations. It carries the Skyworks "Green" designation and is qualified to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3). The SKY87000-13-001's 3.0 × 3.0 mm QFN package uses NiPdAu terminal finish and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-006 solderability requirements for lead-free reflow processes.
Can the SKY87000-13-001 be used in both TDD and FDD Wi-Fi 6E configurations?
The SKY87000-13-001 is optimized for TDD operation with its integrated SPDT switch and fast <10 ns switching time, making it ideal for standard Wi-Fi 6E frame structures. It is not designed for FDD use-no separate Tx and Rx ports are provided, and the internal switch topology assumes time-division duplexing. For FDD-based 6 GHz systems, alternate architectures with discrete PA/LNA and switch components would be required. The SKY87000-13-001 supports only TDD mode.
