Product Overview
The SKY85743‑21 is a highly integrated 5 GHz Front‑End Module (FEM) from Skyworks for high‑performance Wi‑Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax). It integrates 5 GHz power amplifier(PA), bypassable low‑noise amplifier(LNA), SPDT T/R switch, logarithmic power detector and directional coupler. Housed in 24‑pin 3 mm ×5 mm conformal shielded LGA package, it reduces PCB area for access‑point, router and wireless video streaming equipment.
Core Advantages
Optimized for Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) Performance
Excellent linearity and output power for 1024‑QAM modulation, maintains low EVM for high‑rate wireless transmission.
High‑Level Module Integration
Integrated PA, bypass‑capable LNA, SPDT switch and power detector; reduces external matching components, PCB layout difficulty and total BOM cost.
Superior Receive Noise Figure & Sensitivity
Integrated high‑gain LNA with low noise figure, improves receiving sensitivity and extends wireless coverage for indoor and enterprise scenarios.
Compact Shielded Package & Power‑Saving Mode
24‑pin conformal shielded LGA package; built‑in power‑down mode for low idle power consumption, supports closed‑loop power control via internal power detector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What frequency band does SKY85743‑21 support?
A: SKY85743‑21 is a 5 GHz‑only FEM, frequency range 5.15‑5.925 GHz. Supports 802.11ax/ac/a/n, it does NOT support 2.4 GHz band.
Q2: What functional circuits are integrated inside SKY85743‑21?
A: Integrates 5 GHz PA, bypass‑capable LNA, SPDT T/R switch, logarithmic power detector and directional coupler, packaged in 24‑pin conformal shielded LGA.
Q3: Is SKY85743‑21 compatible with legacy Wi‑Fi standards?
A: Yes. Optimized for Wi‑Fi6 802.11ax, fully backward‑compatible with 802.11ac / 802.11a / 802.11n 5GHz‑mode.
Q4: Can SKY85743‑21 directly replace SKY85743‑11?
A: Not drop‑in compatible. PCB footprint looks similar, but power‑grade and internal tuning parameters differ. Check datasheet output‑power specs before substitution.
Q5: Is SKY85743‑21 QFN or LGA package?
A: Package is 24‑pin conformal shielded LGA (3 mm × 5 mm). It is NOT a 16‑pin QFN. Wrong footprint will cause soldering failure.
Q6: What is the corresponding evaluation board model?
A: Official evaluation board: SKY85743‑21EK1, used for prototype RF performance test and validation.
Q7: What is LNA bypass mode for?
A: Bypass mode disables internal LNA. Use for strong‑signal input scenarios to prevent amplifier saturation and signal distortion.
Q8: What is the operating supply voltage range?
A: Recommended supply voltage 2.7V‑3.6V. Do not exceed 3.6V maximum rating to avoid device damage.
Q9: Where can I get datasheet, footprint and 3D model?
A: Submit product inquiry form to obtain official datasheet, LGA PCB land pattern, 3D STEP file and bulk‑order quotation.
