Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors enabling a broad range of end
markets, today introduced a family of highly efficient front-end
solutions for smart water and gas metering applications. Skyworks’
front-end solutions enable significant size and cost reduction. In
addition, many of Skyworks’ front-end solutions allow for
plug-and-play functionality, drastically reducing the design time
for new products. To date, Skyworks’ solutions are being utilized
by 40 tier-one utility and smart energy providers throughout
Europe.
“Skyworks’ newest front-end solutions offer increased range,
high power efficiency and robust design flexibility – three
critical features in smart metering applications,” said Liam K.
Griffin, executive vice president and general manager of high
performance analog at Skyworks. “Skyworks is delighted to be
delivering highly integrated modules that are enabling smart
utility grids to improve their capacity and successfully manage
customer demand, while allowing consumers to monitor and use energy
and water more resourcefully.”
According to the GSMA, the utilities sector is set to invest
U.S. $200 billion in smart grids worldwide through 2015 as the need
to provide growing populations with enough water and energy –
without causing potentially catastrophic damage to the environment
– is one of the biggest challenges facing governments and societies
worldwide. Systematically using embedded mobile connectivity to
create smart utility grids and smart energy environments can
improve suppliers’ ability to effectively manage demand and enable
consumers and businesses to use resources more efficiently.
About Skyworks’ Front-end Solutions
The SKY65367-11 and SKY66100-11 are 169 to 170 MHz
transmit/receive front-end modules (FEM) that are usable in
unlicensed bands in Europe. The high performance FEMs include a
power amplifier (PA) capable of more than +24 dBm (SKY66100-11) and
+30 dBm (SKY65367-11) of transmit output power (VCC = 3.6 volts) at
more than 43 percent power added efficiency (SKY65367-11) and more
than 50 percent PAE (SKY66100-11) for the module. For
current-sensitive applications, the 16-pin, 4 x 4 millimeter
multi-chip module PA can be bypassed to save battery current. All
functionality can be controlled by a three-wire interface. The
highly manufacturable, cost-effective FEMs can also be placed in
deep sleep mode to further increase battery life. The receive chain
consists of a low-loss single-pole, triple-throw switch, providing
an insertion loss of approximately 0.4 dB.

financial market conditions; the susceptibility of the
semiconductor industry and the markets addressed by our, and our
customers', products to economic downturns; the timing,
rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders and our
ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage
inventory; losses or curtailments of purchases or payments from key
customers, or the timing of customer inventory adjustments; the
availability and pricing of third party semiconductor foundry,
assembly and test capacity, raw materials and supplier components;
changes in laws, regulations and/or policies, including the
possibility of expiring tax cuts combined with mandatory reductions
in federal spending, in the United States that could adversely
affect either (i) the economy and our customers’ demand for our
products or (ii) the financial markets and our ability to raise
capital; our ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative
products in a highly price competitive and rapidly changing
technological environment; economic, social and political
conditions in the countries in which we, our customers or our
suppliers operate, including security and health risks, possible
disruptions in transportation networks and fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates; fluctuations in our manufacturing yields
due to our complex and specialized manufacturing processes; delays
or disruptions in production due to equipment maintenance, repairs
and/or upgrades; our reliance on several key customers for a large
percentage of our sales; fluctuations in the manufacturing yields
of our third party semiconductor foundries and other problems or
delays in the fabrication, assembly, testing or delivery of our
