Skyworks Ramps GPS/GNSS Solutions in Emerging Markets
“Skyworks is delighted to be the first semiconductor company with
solutions that are supporting widespread GPS capability in smartphones
and other handheld devices throughout
GNSS is a series of satellites that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. It allows small electronic receivers to determine their location (longitude, latitude and altitude) to within a few meters using time signals transmitted along a line-of-sight by radio from satellites. Receivers then calculate the precise time as well as position, which can be used as a reference.

About Skyworks’
The SKY65709-81 is a front-end module (FEM) with an integrated low noise amplifier and pre-filter designed for the BDS, GPS, GNSS and Galileo receiver applications. Fabricated using advanced silicon technology, the device features high linearity, excellent 14.5 dB gain, a high 1 dB input compression point and a superior 2 dB noise figure. With minimal external components, the embedded pre-filter provides low in-band insertion loss and excellent rejection of the cellular, personal communication system and wireless local area network frequency bands. It also uses surface mount technology in the form of a small form factor, 6-pin, 1.7 x 2.3 millimeter multi-chip module package, allowing for a highly manufacturable and low-cost solution. In addition, the SKY65709-81 is pin-to-pin compatible with Skyworks’ non-BDS, GPS FEMs including the SKY65708-11, SKY65708-51 and SKY65709-51.

These risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, but are
not limited to: uncertainty regarding global economic and 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 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, military and geo-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
